Bohr-Rutherford Diagrams – Forming Ions
EXAMPLE:
20
Ca 2+ * This atom has a charge of 2+, it is called an ION. Draw a diagram.

1. Did Calcium gain or lose electrons to become an ion?
EXAMPLE: Draw the Bohr-Rutherford diagram of the element Chlorine (Cl), and then the
ion of chlorine (Cl-).

PRACTICE:
1. Draw the following Bohr-Rutherford Diagrams, and calculate the ionic charge.
Ionic Charge = # Protons - # Electrons
Magnesium ion (Mg2+)
Oxygen ion (O2-)
Potassium ion (K+)
# protons =
# electrons =
Ionic Charge =
Sodium Ion (Na1+)
# protons =
# electrons =
Ionic Charge =
Calcium Ion (Ca2+)
# protons =
# electrons =
Ionic Charge =
Fluorine Ion (F1-)
# protons =
# electrons =
Ionic Charge =
# protons =
# electrons =
Ionic Charge =
# protons =
# electrons =
Ionic Charge =
