Question

What is ionic bond and show the formation of CaO and MgCl2 by the transfer of electrons.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mgcl2 is an ionic compound. magnesium's atomic number is 12 and chlorine's atomic number is 17. every element has a tendency to attain octet configuration in order to become stable. since magnesium is a metal, it always forms cation by losing electrons

Answer 2

Ionic bond, also called electrovalent bond, type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound. The atom that loses the electrons becomes a positively charged ion (cation), while the one that gains them becomes a negatively charged ion (anion).
