Question
Draw the electron-dot structures of the following compound:
- KCl
- CaO
✓
Answer
There will be transfer of electrons from X to Y. After the transfer X will turn into a positive univalent ion with a deficit of one electron. Ionic bonds form due to the transfer of an electron from one atom to another. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between two atoms.
