Answer:

ca 2 electrons and o have 6 so o required 2 electrons to became stable and can want to remove electrons from its valence shell dor became stable therefore due to electronic force of attraction they form ionic compound cao and became stable

\textbf{Answer:-}

In calcium oxide, the bond formed is ionic or electrovalent bond. It is electrostatic force of attraction between positively charge Ca2 Ions negatively charged O

2−

ions. Calcium is highly electropositive alkaline earth metal and oxygen is highly electronegative non metal. Due to large electronegativity difference between metal and non metal, the bond formed is ionic.

Calcium atom loses two electrons to form positively charged Ca2+ion. O atom gains two electrons to form negatively charged.
