Calcium hydroxide has groups of covalently bonded atoms that have either lost or gained electrons. It is an ion made up of two or more atoms that are covalently bonded and that act like a single ion.
~Ayanna~ Your answer doesn't answer the question. ****************** This answer will: The covalent part is between the O-H of the hydroxide. In this instance, O and H always bond covalently. Calcium's bond with the OH, which is a separate subject, is ionic, as in Ca ++ : (OH -) x 2 Almost all compounds involving metals are ionic, so this is typical. That should clear it up
It is possible for calcium hydroxide, Ca (OH)₂, to have both ionic and covalent bonds is because there are ions called polyatomic ions and those ions are groups of covalently bonded atoms that have either lost or gained electrons.
Because, the calcium atoms bind with the oxygen atoms. (Ionic bond - metal and non metal)
Then the Carbon atom binds to the oxygen atoms, which is a covalent bond (non metal - non metal)
Hence both ionic and covalent bonds included.
Because its made of Calcium and Oxygen (Gas and Metal) which qualifies as Ionic bond.
Two electrons are transferred between calcium and oxygen to form calcium oxide.
Ca2O should be an ionic bond since it is a metal(Ca) bonded to a non metal(0). Since it is oxIDE it is elemental oxygen.
it will form a ionic bond
Yes, an Ionic bond is formed between a metal (Calcium) and a non-metal (Nitrogen).
CaO is Calcium Oxide also known as quicklime.The systematic name of this compound is Calcium Oxide.
Calcium oxide has an ionic bond.
potassium in a metal while oxygen is a non-metal therefore pottasium oxide has ionic bond
Calcium oxide is an ionic compound.
Lithium oxide is an ionic lattice.
Its ionic which means it's polar. All ionic solutes only dissolve in polar solvents.
ANSWERAn ionic bondCalcium loses two electron and oxygen gains two electron resulting in the formation of ionic bond
Two electrons are transferred between calcium and oxygen to form calcium oxide.
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.
Ionic bonding is present in aluminium oxide.
The chemicl bond is ionic- the force is elctrostaic, "Coulomb"
Rubidium oxide has an ionic bond.
Copper(I) oxide has an ionic bond.
