Question

an element X contains 6 electrons in M shell has Valence Electrons what type of bonding is formed in the above compound and why​

Answer 1

if X contain 6 in M shell, it means, it owns 16 electron.. and it's name is sulfur.Sulfur, which only needs two electrons to complete it octet, will pick up the two electrons coming from magnesium, becoming the sulfide anion, S2− , in the process. The electrostatic force of attraction will then bring the magnesium cations and the sulfur anions together → an ionic bond is formed.
