Which type of bond formed when calcium atom react with oxygen atom?

Answer 1

because calcium is a group 2 element which makes it a metal an oxygen is a group 6 element which makes it a a nonmetal. calcium have to lose 2 electrons to become iso-electronic to neon (to become stable) and oxygen need two electron's to become iso-electronic to neon as well (to become stable) calcium transfer its 2 electrons to oxygen its will become stable and so will oxygen. because this type of bonding took place between a metal an a nonmetal its refers to as a ionic bonding and the compound which form as a result of this type of bonding is known as a ionic compound

Answer 2

Ca has 2 electrons in outer shell (valence electrons) and O has six. Because of this, Ca loses 2 electrons which O gains, and Ca becomes a Ca2+ ion, and O becomes an O2- ion. These then bond to form CaO.

Ca2+ + O2- → CaO

Answer 3

What does a calcium and oxygen ionic problem look like? What does a calcium and oxygen ionic problem look like?

Answer 4

Because calcium donates two of it's electrons to oxygen in order to form an octet.

Answer 5

The cation,

Ca 2+

and the anion,

O 2-

form the ionic bond compound

CaO

Calcium oxide

Answer 6

Yes, it forms Calcium oxide CaO an ionic compound with oxygen.

Answer 7

Calcium oxide chemical formula is CaO.
The bond in CaO is ionic.

Answer 8

Ionic bond

Answer 9

Ionic
