Calcium oxide an ionic compound:
- Calcium oxide (CaO) is an ionic compound. once a metal reacts with a non-metal chemical bond is made because the metal loses the electrons forming an ion and therefore the non-metal gains the electrons forming an ion.
- Thus, it is understood that unslaked lime is an ionic compound that includes an chemical bond between Ca and element.
- Calcium oxide(CaO) is an chemical bond. Ca be a metal whereas an element could be a non-metal. Calcium has 2 valence electrons whereas an element desires 2 additional electrons.
- Calcium then transfers these 2 valence electrons to the element. Charges are formed; electric charge at one facet and electric charge at the opposite facet.
- There is a force of attraction between atom and element atom, therefore, creating a chemical bond.
Hence,
Calcium oxide is an ionic compound
