Which two particles can form an ionic bond with each other? a. a negative oxygen ion and a negative chlorine ion b. a positive sodium ion and a positive magnesium ion c. a positive calcium ion and a negative oxygen ion d. a neutral fluorine atom and a negative sulfur io

Answer : The correct option is, (C) a positive calcium ion and a negative oxygen ion.

Explanation :

Ionic compound : ionic compounds are the compounds which are made up of positively charged cation and the negatively charged anion. The bond form between the cation and anion is known as ionic bond.

For example : NaCl, LiF, NaBr, etc.

In option C, a positive calcium ion combine with a negative oxygen ion to give calcium oxide. So, these two particles can form an ionic bond with each other.

While the other options A, B and D can not form an ionic bond with each other.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
