1) barium oxide (Ba and O)

2) sodium oxide (Na and O)

3) calcium chloride (Ca and Cl)

4) sodium nitrite (Na and N)

5) aluminum oxide (Al and O)

6) magnesium phosphide (Mg and P)

Answer 1

Answer:

please mark me as brilliant

Explanation:

Lewis diagrams are useful for visualizing both ionic and covalent bonds. In the idealized ionic bond, one atom gives up an electron to the other, forming positive and negative ions. ... A single bond can be represented by the two dots of the bonding pair, or by a single line which represents that pair
