Use Lewis dot structures to show the ionic bonding in the following pairs of elements. Show the transfer of electrons using arrows. Write the correct chemical formula for the ionic compound that forms.
1) barium oxide (Ba and O)
2) sodium oxide (Na and O)
3) calcium chloride (Ca and Cl)
4) sodium nitride (Na and N)
5) aluminum oxide (Al and O)
6) magnesium phosphide (Mg and P)

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A Lewis structure is a representation of atoms of elements using dots. These dots show the number of outermost electrons in the atom. These outermost electrons are involved during ionic bonding.

We can see from the image attached that in ionic bonding, electrons are transferred from the metal to the non metal to form the ionic compound. Arrows have been used to show the transfer of electrons from metals to non metals.
