Question

Show the formation of Na,O and Mgo by the transfer of electrons.
.​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.It has six electrons in its valence shell.

Thus, oxygen accepts two electrons donated by magnesium atom and forms a stable oxide ion, O2-. 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. MgO is an ionic compound.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Thus, oxygen accepts two electrons donated by magnesium atom and forms a stable oxide ion, O2-. 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. MgO is an ionic compound.
