Question

Iam 10th Draw and explain the ionic bond formation for the calcium chloride

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Ionic bond is formed between two elements where one donates donates electrons and the other receives them.

Calcium's atomic number is 20.

Ca has two electrons in its outermost orbit.So it loses them

Chlorine's atomic number is 17.

So it needs one more electron to attain stable configuration and obey octet rule.

But Calcium has two to give and chlorine wants only one.So it brings his friend(another chlorine)so that it can attain stability too.

                                                             . .

·Ca·           - 2⁻e        →Ca                     :Cl:   + e       →  Cl

2,8,8,2                        2,8,8                   . 2,8,7             2,8,8
