Question

Write down the electron dot structure of sodium chloride and magnesium oxide
Best answer will be marked as brainliest​

Answer 1

Answer:

(i) The representation of elements with valence electrons as dots around the elements is referred to as electron-dot structure for elements.

Electronic configuration of Sodium (Na)→2,8,1

Electron dot structure =Na∙

Electronic configuration of Oxygen (O)→2,6

Electron dot structure =∙∙∙O∙∙∙

Electronic configuration of Magnesium (Mg)→2,8,2

Electron dot structure =Mg∙∙

(ii) Ionic compounds have strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the ions. It requires a lot of energy to overcome these forces. Thus ionic compounds have high melting points.
