Bohr said orbit the nucleus in fixed shells holding a set number of electrons.

Closest shell can only hold

Second can hold

Number of electrons in the shell determines the properties of the atom.

To be atoms want to have a outer shell.

Atomic is the number of protons in the nucleus.

Only whole numbers of protons exist, so there are only natural elements ending at
