When doing a bohr rutherford diagram how do you do it for covalent bonds and ionic bonds
Covalent bonds SHARE electrons so you draw the two atoms side by side with shared electrons. Covalent bonds happen between nonmetal and nonmental such as N and O
Ionic bonds are TRANSFERS of electrons so one atom gets all the electrons and one atom loses all. Ionic bonds happen between metal and nonmetals such as Ca and O
ionic bonds are metal elements bonded to nonmetal elements, while covalent is nonmetal bonded to nonmetal
References :
In a covalent bond, the electrons are SHARED between the two atoms.
In an ionic bond, one atom STEALS an electon from the other forming + and – charges. After the "theft" , the + and – atoms attract.
Covalent bonds typically are shared between atoms (elements) of similar electronegative properties. ie: they have similar attractions for electrons to their central nuclei.
Ionic bonds are between very electro "weak" atoms such as 1st / 2nd column metals (Na, K, etc.) and some transition metals with very electronegative "strongly attracting" atoms suchs as the halogen column in the periodic table (F, Cl, etc.).
Bohr Rutherford Diagram would be hard to explain in text only.

In ionic bonds, the atom with the lesser electrons gives it’s extra electron to the atom with more electrons. But in covalent bonding, both the atoms share electrons. You can always visit this site to help you: http://www.khanacademy.org/video/ionic–covalent–and-metallic-bonds?playlist=Chemistry
