Ca is an element of the 2nd group of elements, the earth-alkali elements. It will give away its 2 outermost electrons to fulfill the octet rule and become a 2+ ion. calcium carbonate is an ionic compound of calcium and the polyatomic anion carbonate (CO3) with a charge of 2(-). Ca[2+] + CO3[2-] --> CaCO3 (no balancing needed) for additional information about carbonate visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonate.

When chlorine reacts with a metal element to make an ionic compound it form a what?
Chlorine reacts with a metal element to form an ionic compound called a metal chloride. This compound is typically formed when the metal atom donates electrons to the chlorine atom, resulting in the formation of an ionic bond between the positively charged metal ion and the negatively charged chloride ion.
What type of bonds does hydrogen form?
Hydrogen bonds with hydrogen bond acceptor atoms such as Oxygen. Covalent bonds with nearly anything.
When sodium and chlorine form an ionic bond they make?
When sodium and chlorine form an ionic bond, they make sodium chloride, which is commonly known as table salt. Sodium donates one electron to chlorine, resulting in the formation of ionic bonds between the two elements.
What type of bond will form between K and F?
The bond between the metal potassium (K) and the nonmetal fluorine (F) is ionic. During the formation of the ionic compound potassium fluoride (KF), the potassium atom loses an electron and becomes a positively charged ion, and the fluorine atom gains the electron and becomes a negatively charged ion. The electrostatic attraction between the two oppositely charged ions is the ionic bond. In general, a metal and a nonmetal will form an ionic bond.
What is the formula of calcium fluoride?
The reason it becomes stable is because Ca has 2 valence electrons that it wants to get rid of to become stable. F has 7 valence electrons and wants 1 more to become stable. So, TWO F atoms each take 1 of the 2 electrons from Ca. They form an ionic bond as Ca^2+ and 2F^- to make CaF2.
Do calcium and sulfur make a covalent bond?
No, calcium and sulfur do not typically form a covalent bond because calcium typically forms ionic bonds by donating its two valence electrons to sulfur, which is a nonmetal. Calcium and sulfur would form an ionic bond in a compound like calcium sulfide (CaS).
What element in period 3 of the periodic table reacts with oxygen to form an ionic compound?
Oxygen would form an ionic bond with lithium.
What does Ca reacts with P4 make?
They form calcium phosphide Ca3P2 6Ca + P4 --> 2Ca3P2
What type of bond is Ca-Br?
The bond between calcium (Ca) and bromine (Br) is an ionic bond. Calcium will donate electrons to bromine, forming a positively charged calcium ion and a negatively charged bromine ion, resulting in strong electrostatic attraction between the two ions.
When calcium and chloride bond to make calcium chloride does calcium become an anion and chloride a cation?
No, in the compound calcium chloride, calcium remains a cation with a 2+ charge, and chloride remains an anion with a 1- charge. They bond through an ionic bond where calcium donates its two electrons to chlorine.
What bond does calsium and chorline make?
Ionic bond
What bond does magnesium and chlorine make?
An ionic bond. A typical metal - non-metal compound. Magnesium (Mg) reacts with Bromine (Br2) to form Magnesium Bromide (MgBr2) which has an ionic formula of Mg2+ (Br-)2.
Does mendelevium make an ionic or covalent bond?
Mendelevium can make ionic bonds.
Is MgSO4 a ionic or covalent bond?
It is in a Ionic bond.
What type of bond that will form between Ca plus S?
Calcium will form a covalent bond with sulfur. The difference in the electronegativity value is not very big(2.6 - 1= 1.6). Recall: greater difference= ionic bonding. The bond is only slightly polar.- has to be covalent hint: this question is very tricky ( my explanation might not make sense- but it is correct) teachers love these kind of questions
When nitrogen and oxygen combine do they make a ionic or covalent bond?
The bond is covalent.
What kind of bond would metal and nonmetal typically make?
An ionic bond
