Answer 1

Magnesium and fluorine combine to form an ionic compound. What is the formula for the compound? Mg most commonly forms a 2+ ion. This is because Mg has two valence electrons and it would like to get rid of those two ions to obey the octet rule.

Magnesium- electron dot structure-Electronic configuration of Magnesium (Mg)→2,8,2

Electron dot structure =

Attachment- #1

The electrons are represented as dots. Fluorine needs 1 electron to complete its octet.
