Question

draw the electron dot diagram of the ionic bonding of the following compound. ★ Magnesium fluoride [MgF]. atomic no. = Magnesium=12, Fluoride=9​

Answer 1

Answer:

F--Mg--F electron dot diagram of magnesium fluoride

Answer 2

Explanation:

Lewis-dot structure : It is also known as electron-dot structure. It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule. It also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

For drawing a Lewis-dot structure we should know that how many total number of valence electrons present in a given compound or a molecule.The given molecule is $MgF_2$

As we know that magnesium has '2' valence electrons and fluorine has '7' valence electrons.

Thus magnesium will lose 2 electrons , one each to each fluorine atom , thereby completing each octet.
