Question

Show the formation of calcium chloride using lewis structures

Answer 1

hey here's your answer!!

Answer 2

Here is your answer.....

____________________________________

✔ Calcium(Ca) atomic number= 20

✔ electronic configuration= 2,8,8,2

loses two electrons to attend the stable noble gas configuration of argon ,as a result it is converted into calcium ion.

✔ On the other hand ,chlorine(Cl) atomic number =17

✔electronic configuration= 2, 8, 7 Can gain one electron to acquire the stable configuration of argon. As a result it is converted into chlorine ion.

✔Here calcium atoms loses 2 electrons and forms calcium Ion with two units of positive charge and the two electrons are transferred to two chlorine ions, which are converted into chloride ions each with one unit negative charge.

✔ This oppositely charged ions are then held together by strong electrostatic force of attraction .
