Schematic two- and three-component models are proposed to account for the forbidden lines due to low- and intermediate-ionization stages of C, N, O, and S observed in the planetary nebula NGC 7027. It is found that the two-component model yields only an approximate solution and that no acceptable solution exists in the framework of the three-component model. An alternative three-component model is suggested in which two shaded regions emit a large fraction of the forbidden lines due to neutral and singly ionized species, high-density cold neutral condensations embedded in a highly ionized lower-density gas produce the shadows, a large fraction of the nebula is at a moderate electron temperature of the order of 10,000 K, and the ionized skin of the condensations is slightly higher. Elemental abundances in the nebula are evaluated.
