Question

Write the electron dot structure for the ionic compound formed by one of these
metals with halogen.​

Answer 1

Answer:

We say that in ionic compounds to the metal will transfer its valence electrons to the nonmetal. So we have the one valence electron here and we'll transfer that to the chlorine.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The electron dot structure for the ionic compound formed by metals with halogen :

• The electron dot structure for the ionic compound that is formed by the interaction of metal like Na and halogen like chlorine is :

. x . x -

Na + x Cl x —> (Na+) ( x Cl x )

x xx x x xx x

• As Cl need one electron to complete it's octet and to attain completely filled valence shell. Hence , for attaining the stability.

• Also, Na have to loss one electron to attain the stable configuration.

• So ,Na will lose one electron which will accepted by Cl . Na will form Na+ ion while Cl will form Cl- ion.

• The oppositely charged ions will attract each other and form the ionic bond between them means ionic compound will form i.e NaCl.
