Question
### Understanding Ionic Bond Formation: Calcium and Oxygen

#### Objective:
Add electron dots and charges as necessary to show the reaction of calcium and oxygen to form an ionic compound.

#### Interactive Tool:

The interactive tool provided has two sections: 
1. **Neutral atoms** 
2. **Ions**

##### Neutral Atoms Section:
- **Purpose:** To represent calcium (Ca) and oxygen (O) atoms before they react.
- **Controls:** 
  - **Select:** Choose atoms or items within the workspace.
  - **Draw:** Add electron dots to represent valence electrons.
  - **Rings:** Add electron shells to show atomic structure.
  - **More:** Additional options to assist in creating an accurate atomic representation.
  - **Erase:** Erase any mistakes in the workspace.

##### Ions Section:
- **Purpose:** To illustrate the resulting ions after calcium and oxygen have formed an ionic bond.
- **Controls:**
  - **Select:** Choose ions or items within the workspace.
  - **Draw:** Add electron dots to represent valence electrons.
  - **Rings:** Add electron shells to visualize the ionic form.
  - **More:** Additional tools for refinement.
  - **Erase:** Correct any errors in the workspace.

##### Additional Features:
- **Undo/Redo Buttons:** Allow reversing or repeating the latest actions to easily correct mistakes.
- **Zoom:** 
  - **Zoom In (+):** Enlarges the view for detailed work.
  - **Zoom Out (-):** Reduces the view for an overall look.
  - **Reset Zoom:** Resets the view back to the default zoom level.

#### How to Use the Tool:
1. **Neutral Atoms Workspace:**
    - Begin by illustrating the neutral atoms of calcium and oxygen.
    - Calcium (Ca) has two valence electrons, while oxygen (O) has six.
    - Use the "Draw" function to add electron dots around the symbols of calcium and oxygen to represent their respective valence electrons.

2. **Ionic Bond Formation:**
    - After drawing the valence electrons for neutral atoms, move to the "Ions" section.
    - Calcium, a metal, loses two electrons to form Ca²⁺ ion.
    - Oxygen, a non-metal, gains two electrons to form O²⁻ ion.
    - Reflect these changes in the ions workspace by adjusting the electron counts and adding charges appropriately.
