2. Describe how this bond forms.
3. What is the chemical formula for the compound? Explain.

Solutions

Expert Solution

(a) the bond which will form between calcium and chlorine will be an ionic or electrovalent bond.

(b) The calcium being a metal, has a tendency to lose electrons, and will lose its two outer valence electrons to form its octet and Ca2+ ion. The chlorine atom has a tendency to gain an electron as it is a non-metal. 1 Chlorine atom can gain only 1 electron to complete its octet. So, 2 Cholrine atoms gain the 2 electrons from calcium and form 2[Cl-] ions. Now, the electrostatic force of attraction begins to act between the oppositely charged particles and they form a electrostatic bond. The compound formed is CaCl2

(c) chemical formula for the compound= CaCl_2.

Your one thumbs up will help me lot. Thanks!
