Bohr Model Maker: Nucleus, Shells and Electrons
A Bohr model maker drafts an introductory atom diagram with a nucleus, electron shells and valence electrons while stating the model’s limits.
How to check a shell diagram
A Bohr model is a useful classroom representation for counting protons, neutrons and electrons and introducing shell patterns. It is not a full quantum description: electrons are not tiny planets following measured circular tracks, and orbitals require a different model.
Set the element, charge and electron count before drawing. The Bohr model maker creates an editable teaching draft; check the counts and add the model boundary before using it in chemistry instruction.
A focused review workflow
The atomic number fixes proton count, charge changes electron count, and isotopes change neutron count. Keep those facts separate from the visual convention of concentric shells.

A practical prompt
Create a Bohr model for a named neutral atom with a labeled nucleus, correct electron count, simplified shells, a valence-shell label and a note that the drawing is introductory rather than a full orbital model.
Common questions
How do ions change a Bohr model?
An ion has gained or lost electrons, so its electron count differs from its proton count.
Is the Bohr model scientifically complete?
No. It is an introductory model; orbital diagrams and quantum descriptions provide more detail.
