So last year i was told that we draw an atom with the nutrons and protons in the middle, then we put rings around and electrons would be represented as 'X', drawing 2 (North, South) on the first ring.
4 (North, South, East, West) on the second ring.
8 on the next ring (North, South, East, West, North, South, East, West), meaning we would have 2 paired up at each point, the next would have maximum of 3, ect.
This year we are told that we should draw the "X", East, West, North South, does it really matter, and is there a correct way of drawing an atom in that matter, and whats its name, as it isnt the same as a Bohr Atom.
Thank-you
