Question

When carbon looses two electrons and oxygen atom gains those two electrons, formation of ionic bond occurs. Describe the bonding and write equations? (i) What is the electrovalency of calcium atom?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In ionic compounds, electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another so that a cation—positively charged ion—and an anion—negatively charged ion—form. The strong electrostatic attraction between adjacent cations and anions is known as an ionic bond.
