How do you draw a diagram of ionic bonding?

Answer 1

The simplest way to draw a diagram that represents ionic bonding is to draw the two atoms (or more). One element while have to be drawn showing the electrons with Xs and the other with Os. Then draw arrows of electron leaving the metal atom and attaching to the non-metal.

Answer 2

To draw a diagram of ionic bonding, represent one atom as a metal cation with a positive charge, and the other atom as a nonmetal anion with a negative charge. Arrows pointing from the metal to the nonmetal represent the transfer of electrons. The resulting bond is shown as a line connecting the two atoms, indicating the electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
