Question

Draw the ionic bond formation of Calcium Chloride...​

Answer 1

Answer:

❤

Explanation:

Calcium chloride is created from the ionic bonds that form between calcium cations and chloride anions. Calcium ions have a charge of +2, while chloride ions have a charge of -1.

The ionic formula for Calcium Chloride is CaCl2

Calcium is an Alkaline Earth Metal in the second column of the periodic table. This means that calcium has 2 valence electrons it readily gives away in order to seek the stability of the octet. This makes calcium a Ca+2 cation.

Chlorine is a Halogen in the 17th column or p5 group.

Chlorine has 7 valence electrons. It needs one electron to make it stable at 8 electrons in its valence shells. This makes chlorine a Cl−1 anion.

Ionic bonds form when the charges between the metal cation and non-metal anion are equal and opposite. This means that two Cl−1 anions will balance with one Ca+2 cation.

This makes the formula for calcium chloride, CaCl2.
