No, sulfur accepts two electrons forming sulphide ion.
Nope, sulfur and phosphorus do not typically form an ionic bond. They are more likely to form covalent bonds due to their similar electronegativities. So, sorry to burst your ionic bubble, but these elements prefer to share electrons rather than give them away.
No, an ionic bond is not a shared pair of electrons. In an ionic bond, one atom transfers electrons to another atom, resulting in the formation of ions with opposite charges that are attracted to each other, forming a bond.
Ionic bond.
Yes. CaO is an ionic compound.
Ionic bonds
An ionic bond would occur between sulfur and barium.
In an ionic bond one atom completely pulls one or more electrons away from another, forming positive and negative ions that are attracted by their opposite charges. In a covalent bond two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons, neither one of the atoms completely pulls these electrons away from the other.
Ionic
No, in covalent bonding atoms "share" electrons. In ionic bonding one atom completely takes on or more electrons away from another.

An element that is a metal is more likely to give away its electrons because metals tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions to achieve a stable electron configuration. Sodium and potassium are common examples of metals that readily give away electrons.

Ionic bonding is when atoms either give away or take electrons. You do not need an outer shell.
