Your mission…
…if you choose to accept…
Create Bohr diagrams using scientifically enlarged (and sweetened) protons, neutrons, and electrons with the help of your handy-dandy Periodic Table
**Note: Today’s atomic structures have not been enlarged to scale!!

3. The first steps… Decide which colors will represent
Protons
Electrons
Neutrons
Then decide which one of you will be in charge of each of them (you each need to have a role!)

4. HELIUM Mission #1 Create a Bohr diagram representing an atom of
Once your diagram has been approved by Agent Dufner, please draw in your Bohr diagram on your Mission Data Sheet

5. HELIUM
2 PROTONS
2 NEUTRONS
2 ELECTRONS

6. Mission #2
Create a Bohr diagram representing an atom of
BERYLLIUM

7. BERYLLIUM
4 PROTONS
5 NEUTRONS
4 ELECTRONS

8. Mission #3
Create a Bohr diagram representing an atom of
OXYGEN

9. OXYGEN
8 PROTONS
8 NEUTRONS
8 ELECTRONS

10. Oxygen-18 Mission #4 Your final and most challenging mission yet…
Create a Bohr diagram representing an atom of
Oxygen-18
On a side note: Oxygen-18 is an important isotope of oxygen that plays a role in the analysis of ice cores that are drilled in the Antarctic

11. OXYGEN-18
8 PROTONS
10 NEUTRONS
8 ELECTRONS

12. Mission Accomplished!!! You may now Taste the Rainbow!
