For 2.1: Calcium atom will loose electrons.

For 2.2: It will loose 2 electrons.

For 2.3: Bromine atom will gain electrons.

For 2.4: It will gain 1 electron.

For 2.5: The ions formed are

For 2.6: The chemical formula is

Explanation:

Calcium bromide is formed by the combination of calcium and bromine atoms. This compound is ionic compound because electrons get transferred from one atom to another atom.

Calcium is the 20th element of the periodic table. It is a metal and it looses its electrons. The electronic configuration for this element is

This element will loose 2 electrons and forms ion.

Bromine is the 35th element of the periodic table. It is a non-metal and it gains electrons. The electronic configuration for this element is

This element will gain 1 electron and forms ion.

The chemical formula for the given compound is
