Lewis Structures for ionic compounds

[Ashley Wang 4G]

If most bonds exhibit both ionic and covalent properties to varying degrees, do we ever draw ionic compounds as Lewis Structures instead of two ions next to each other?

Is there an example of this? I can't think of anytime when this would be the case. If you have an ionic compound then you are going to have ionic bonds. However, you could dissolve a NaCl (an ionic compound) in water (a covalent compound), and the NaCl would dissolve to form ion-dipole bonds with the the water molecules.

Ionic compounds can also be drawn as Lewis structures- with compounds that have mostly ionic character (like NaCl) you could draw the lone pair electrons as belonging to Cl rather than being shared. The compound would be written as two separate ions, Na+ and Cl-
