Bohr model of a chloride ion (Cl⁻)

An example figure from the Bohr Model generator.

Bohr model of a chloride ion in brackets with a − charge: 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 2, 8 and 8 electrons with the gained electron in green — A Bohr model of the chloride ion Cl⁻, in square brackets with its 1− charge. It has 17 protons, 18 neutrons and 18 electrons on three shells as 2, 8 and 8. The one electron gained to complete the outer shell is drawn in green, and a key explains the colors.
