Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Number of calcium atoms that are required to meet the electron needs of one sulfur atom has to be chosen among the given options.
Concept Introduction:
Ions are formed by the loss or gain of electrons. The formation of ion requires presence of two elements, these two elements are: one is metal atom and another one is non-metal atom. Metal atom loses electron and non-metal atom accepts electron. A Lewis structures explains the formation of simple ionic compounds. A Lewis structure is a combination of Lewis symbols that represents either the transfer or the sharing of electrons in
