Q

How do you draw an ion?

A

Draw the ion with all of the shells that it has full. If it is groups 1, 2 or 3 it will lose one shell. Draw all the shells to be as full as they can due to electron configuration. Draw a square bracket around the whole ion and write the charge in the top right corner (on the outside)
