Drawing Bohr Models of Atoms and Ions - 3 easy steps!

This video tutorial explains how to draw accurate Bohr models for atoms and ions. It emphasizes the importance of understanding protons, neutrons, and electrons, as well as electron configurations. The tutorial outlines three main steps: placing protons and neutrons in the nucleus, writing the electron configuration, and distributing electrons across energy levels. Examples include magnesium, sodium ion, and chlorine ion, demonstrating how to apply these steps to different elements and ions.

What are the three main steps to draw a Bohr model for atoms and ions?

Explain how to write the electron configuration for magnesium.

Describe the process of distributing electrons to energy levels using the electron configuration.

How do you determine the number of energy levels to draw for the Bohr model?

What is the significance of having a full outer shell of electrons for ions?

What electron configuration would you write for the chlorine ion with a mass number of 35?

How does the charge of an ion affect its electron configuration?
