Atomic number of Magnesium (Mg) – 12 Electronic configuration of Magnesium – 1s2 2s22p6 3s2 It has two valence electrons, it will lose two electrons to get octet configuration Atomic number of Oxygen (O) – 8 Electronic configuration of Oxygen – 1s2 2s2 2p4 It is two electrons short of octet configuration, thus it will gain two electrons. During the bond formation between Magnesium and Oxygen, one Magnesium atom loses two electrons to Oxygen atom. Mg -1e- → Mg2+ O + 2e- → O-2 Mg+2 + O-2 → MgO
