Question

explain the formation of :- (1) magnesium choride
(2) sodium oxide
​

Answer 1

Answer:

(i) Mg forms ionic bond to Cl by donating its valence electrons to two Cl atoms. ... It can achieve an octet by gaining one valence electron to form Cl⁻. nobel.scas.bcit.ca. The oppositely charges of the magnesium and chloride ions attract each other and form ionic bonds.

(ii,) Sodium oxide is produced by the reaction of sodium with sodium hydroxide, sodium peroxide, or sodium nitrite: 2 NaOH + 2 Na → 2 Na2O + H. ... Burning sodium in air will produce Na2O and about 20% sodium peroxide Na2O2.
