Calcium is a metal with an electronegativity of 1.0 and oxygen is a nonmetal with an electronegativity of 3.5. The electronegativity difference is 2.5, and anything over 1.7 indicates an IONIC BOND.
Calcium Carbonate (assuming you want to know what CaCO3 is...
No, not exactly. It is an ionic compound so it would not have a Lewis dot structure. However, the carbonate anion, CO3^2- does have a Lewis dot structure.
Ionic bonding is an example of intramolecular bonding, where electrons are transferred between atoms to form ions that are held together by electrostatic forces.
No, CaCl2 is not an example of ionic bonding. It is an ionic compound resulting from the bonding between calcium (a metal) and chlorine (a nonmetal). Ionic bonding occurs between a metal and a nonmetal, where electrons are transferred from one atom to another to form ions.
NaCl is an example of ionic bonding. Sodium (Na) donates an electron to chlorine (Cl), forming positively charged sodium ion and negatively charged chlorine ion that are held together by electrostatic forces.
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is an ionic compound (to some extent) , all ionic compounds are polar.

Ionic bonding is based on electrostatic attraction between ions.
Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons.
Ionic and covalent bonding involve electrons. Ionic bonding involves the loss and gain of electrons, form ions. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons.
No, not exactly. It is an ionic compound so it would not have a Lewis dot structure. However, the carbonate anion, CO3^2- does have a Lewis dot structure.
