Question

Show the formation of Na2O 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.
