Calcium chloride forms an ionic solid. how are the particles held together and arranged in the solid

Explanation:

As we known that an ionic solid is a solid whose atoms chemically combine together by transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

For example, is an ionic solid because transfer of electrons take place from calcium to chlorine.

As a result, calcium atom has a partial positive change and chlorine atom has a partial negative charge. Hence, there will be strong intermolecular forces of attraction between the two because opposite charges attract each other.

Therefore, particles will be arranged in a regular crystal lattice of opposite charges.
