Answer 1

Na2O is, therefore, an ionic or electrovalent compound. Formation of MgO: It has two electrons in its outermost shell. So, the magnesium atom donates its 2 valence electrons and forms a stable magnesium ion, Mg2+ to attain the electronic arrangement of neon gas.

Answer 2

Answer:

Na2O is an ionic or electrovalent compound. Formation of MgO: It has two electrons in its outermost shell. The oppositely changed magnesium ions Mg2+ and oxide ions O2- are held together by a strong force of electrostatic attraction to form Magnesium oxide compound Mg2+O2- or MgO.
