Q

What are the 4 rules when drawing an atom?

A
  1. The nucleus is at the Centre of the atom (represented by the chemical symbol)
  2. Surrounding the nucleus are shells of electrons, these shells are drawn as rings
  3. A maximum of 2 electrons are in the 1st shell and a maximum of 8 electrons are in all subsequent shells (this is the octet rule)
  4. To create a new shell, all previous shells must be at their maximum capacity
