Answer:
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_2MgF
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.
