Answer:-
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.
