Write the correct Lewis structure for the ionic compound that forms from Ca and I.
Draw the Lewis dot structure for the ionic compound. To change the symbol of an atom, double-click on the atom and enter the letter of the new atom. Identify the charge on each of these species.
Calcium would have (+2) charge whereas each Iodine would have (-1) charge after formation of the ionic compound. In drawing, cross(x) & dot() both signify electron but have been used to distinguish metal & halide electrons.
