10. 7 points for this question. On the left side of the arrow, draw a Lewis dot structure for
calcium (Ca) and Selenium (Se). Circle the electrons thy will be transferred during
bonding and draw an arrow to show the movement of electrons. On the right-hand side
of the arrow, draw the final compound with the resulting charges on each atom. Finally,
name the type of bond that you’ve illustrated.
