Magnesium oxide is produced by the calcination of magnesium carbonate or magnesium hydroxide. The latter is obtained by the treatment of magnesium chloride solutions, typically seawater, with lime. Calcining at different temperatures produces magnesium oxide of different reactivity.
Sodium chloride is formed when sodium atoms interact with chlorine atoms. When this occurs, sodium will donate an electron (which is a negatively-charged particle) to chlorine.

I also did this question once I wrote:
In the formation of magnesium oxide magnesium gives TWO atoms to oxygen whereas in the formation of sodium chloride sodium gives ONE atom to chlorine
This is the simplest and a correct way to describe it
Hope it helps
