Iodine only needs to gain one electron to become an anion.
In the compound calcium iodide, one calcium atom transfers 2 electrons to one iodine atom. This results in both atoms achieving a stable electron configuration – calcium with a full outer shell and iodine with a complete octet.
No, carbon and iodine form covalent bonds, where they share electrons to complete their outer electron shells. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
In a bond between two iodine atoms, the electrons are shared equally, resulting in a nonpolar covalent bond. Each iodine atom contributes one electron to form a single covalent bond.
Sulfur and iodine can form compounds in which they share electrons, such as sulfur diiodide (SI2). In this compound, the sulfur and iodine atoms share electrons to form chemical bonds.
An atom of iodine will most likely gain one electron to form a stable octet in its outer energy level. This will give iodine a full set of 8 electrons, making it more stable and less likely to react with other atoms.
Iodine in its natural form is I2, two iodine atoms bonded with a single covalent bond. There are 6 non-bonded valance electrons on each atom, so there are 12 electrons in the electron-dot structure.

Iodine's molecular structure consists of diatomic molecules, with two iodine atoms covalently bonded to each other (I2). Each iodine atom has seven valence electrons and can form a single covalent bond with the other iodine atom, resulting in a stable molecule.

I believe you mean the formation of the compound calcium iodide. In the formation of calcium iodide, CaI2, the calcium atom transfers two valence electrons to two iodine atoms, with one electron going to each iodine atom. This causes the formation of a calcium ion, Ca2+, and two iodide ions, I-. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bonds that form the compound calcium iodide.
Iodine in its natural form is I2, two iodine atoms bonded with a single covalent bond. There are 6 non-bonded valance electrons on each atom, so there are 12 electrons in the electron-dot structure.
Iodine is a non polar covalent present in all phases as I2
All the electrons in an atom form the so-called cloud of electrons.
Two valence electrons are transferred from the calcium atom to the iodine atom in the formation of calcium iodide. This transfer results in the formation of calcium ions (Ca2+) and iodide ions (I-), which then form an ionic bond to create the compound calcium iodide (CaI2).
