Q

What does the number of shells represent in the Rutherford-Bohr models?

A

The number of shells an
atom has, is indicated by the period (row) it is in on the periodic table.

Q

What is represented in lewis notation

A

Lewis notation is a simplified representation of the atom, in which only
valence electrons are illustrated. Valence electrons are the electrons gravitating
around the nucleus of the atom in the last energy shell.

Q

where is the electron located?

A

It is located outside of the nucleus in the electron shells, the further it is from the nucleus the
less energy holds it to the nucleus. The electrons on the last energy shell of an
atom are therefore the ones that will be shared or moved when atoms combine to
form molecules or during stating electricity.
