Questions and Answers

What describes the arrangement of electrons in the Bohr model?

Electrons are arranged in shells or energy levels around the nucleus. (correct)

Electrons are randomly distributed around the nucleus.

Electrons exist in fixed paths with no energy levels.

Electrons occupy the nucleus and have no defined energy levels.

What happens to electrons during ionic bonding?

Electrons are shared equally between atoms.

Electrons are lost or gained by atoms to form ions. (correct)

Electrons are created to maintain stability.

Electrons move freely without forming ions.

Study Notes

Atomic Structure and Bonding

Atoms have a nucleus with protons and neutrons, and electrons outside the nucleus
Bohr model describes electrons orbiting the nucleus in energy levels (shells)
Principle quantum number (n) describes the energy level of an electron.
Each energy level can have more than one sublevel
Electrons occupy orbitals within each energy level
Electrons transfer from lower energy levels to higher energy levels when energy is absorbed; Electrons release energy to return to lower energy levels

Ionic Compounds

Ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electrons between atoms
One atom loses electrons (becoming a positively charged ion called cation), and the other gains electrons (becoming a negatively charged ion called anion)
Ions are attracted to each other, and form an ionic bond
Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points.

Covalent Compounds

Covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points
Electrons are shared between atoms to form covalent bond
Atoms keep their structure by having electrons moving around positive ions

Organic Compounds

Organic compounds are primarily composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms,
They can form single, double, or triple bonds, and complex structures.
