Question

Explain the formation of following ionic compounds with the help of electron dot structure.
a) Sodium chloride
b) Aluminium chloride​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sodium chloride is formed because of transfer of electrons. ... Each of the two chlorine atoms gains one electron lost by magnesium to obtain stable electronic configuration. The bonds so formed between magnesium and chlorine are ionic bonds and compound (magnesium chloride) is an ionic compound.

Answer 2

Answer:

The reason for the three chlorine atoms is because aluminum donates an electron to each chlorine atom. That way, all four atoms can have a complete outer shell. When these atoms lose or gain electrons they become charged particles and they stick together to form a neutral ionic compound.
