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.

Sulfer oxide is covalently bonded - so no, it is not an ionic solid.


When oxygen is bonded to a metal it forms?

The oxidation of a metal produces a metal oxide. For example, calcium + oxide -> calcium oxide


Water bond ionically or covalently?

Water molecules bond covalently, where the oxygen atom shares electrons with the two hydrogen atoms to form a stable molecule. The interaction between water molecules, known as hydrogen bonding, is a weak form of intermolecular bonding that is responsible for many of water's unique properties.


Is calcium oxide a convalenty bonded chemical?

No, it is an ionic compound.


How much elemental Calcium is there in Calcium oxide?

There is no elemental calcium in calcium oxide. Calcium oxide is a compound made up of calcium and oxygen atoms bonded together. When calcium oxide reacts with water, it forms calcium hydroxide, which contains calcium ions but not elemental calcium.


Is Nitrogen oxide molecular of ionic?

Nitrogen oxide is a molecular compound, not an ionic compound. It is composed of nitrogen and oxygen atoms bonded together covalently.


How many moles of O2- ions are in 0.65 moles of aluminum oxide?

The formula for aluminum oxide is Al2O3, which means that, if aluminum oxide is ionically bonded, every formula mass of aluminum oxide contains three O-2 ions. In this instance, 0.65 formula masses of aluminum oxide would contain 3 X 0.65 or 1.95 moles of O2-. If aluminum oxide were covalently bonded, it would not contain any O-2 ions.


Are bonded calcium and oxygen atoms an element compound or mixture?

A compound, and it's name would be calcium oxide.
