Write the correct Lewis structure for the ionic compound that forms from Ba and O.
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.
barium is the metal having the valency of +2 and the oxygen having the -2 valency
so both are combined together forms the ionic compound
BaO i.e barium oxide and then it forms the following lewis
structure as follows here barium with +2 charge and oxygen takes
two electrons and forms the -2 charge
