Question

What is the ionic bond formation of calcium chloride?

Answer 1

The ionic formula for Calcium Chloride is CaCl2

Calcium is an Alkaline Earth Metal in the second column of the periodic table. This means that calcium has 2 valence electrons it readily gives away in order to seek the stability of the octet. This makes calcium a Ca+2 cation.

Chlorine is a Halogen in the 17th column or p5 group.
Chlorine has 7 valence electrons. It needs one electron to make it stable at 8 electrons in its valence shells. This makes chlorine a Cl−1 anion.

Ionic bonds form when the charges between the metal cation and non-metal anion are equal and opposite. This means that two Cl−1 anions will balance with one Ca+2 cation.

This makes the formula for calcium chloride, CaCl2.

I hope this is helpful.

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 .
