Hello,

I must find the Bohr-Rutherford diagram for an element. There are so many types of diagrams that I do not know which one to use. Can you give me an example so that I know what it looks like ?

This link will help you:

I don't know why they bother with this stuff. The Bohr model of the atom is obsolete and the Rutherford model is even more obsolete.

I guess you're going to have to realize that U-238 (atomic number 92) has 92 electrons. Do you have to put in all 92 electrons or do you have to put in only the outermost shells?

It should be easy to do -- it'll just take a while.
