The model would look something like the image below.

There would be a central nucleus containing 20 protons and 20 neutrons.

Surrounding the nucleus would be four concentric rings (energy levels) containing 20 electrons.

Going out from the nucleus, the number of electrons in each ring would

be 2, 8, 8, 2.
