Bohr model of titanium

Bohr model of titanium (Ti): 22 electrons in 4 shells — 2, 8, 10, 2

Titanium (Ti) has 22 electrons, spread over 4 shells. The diagram places them on circles around the nucleus, from the K shell — the closest — outward.

ShellElectrons
K (n = 1)2
L (n = 2)8
M (n = 3)10
N (n = 4)2

The Bohr model is a teaching picture: electrons do not travel in circular orbits, but the number of electrons per shell is exact.
