Question

What happens during the formation of an ionic bond in calcium chloride?

Answer 1

The protons of the calcium atom attract the electrons from the chlorine atom. ... Since each chlorine atom gained an electron, they each have 17 protons and 18 electrons. This makes each chloride a negative ion with a charge of −1. Oppositely charged ions attract each other,forming an ionic bond.
