Question

Is calcium oxide an ionic compound justify

Answer 1

Answer:

UR ANSWER :-

➡️Calcium oxide (CaO) is an ionic compound.

➡️When a metal reacts with a non-metal ionic bond is formed as the metal loses the electrons forming a cation and the non-metal gains the electrons forming anion.

➡️ In Calcium Oxide(CaO) , Calcium loses two electrons forming a cation (Ca+2)and oxygen has six valence electrons and is looking to gain two electrons to complete the octet and making it an anion (O-2).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION :-

IONIC COMPOUNDS:

➡️Ionic compounds are compounds made up of ions.

➡️These ions are atoms that gain or lose electrons, giving them a net positive or negative charge.

➡️In other words, ionic compounds are held together by ionic bonds.

➡️Elements can gain or lose electrons in order to attain their nearest noble gas configuration.
