Question

show the transfer or sharing of electrons (MgO) and (HBr)

Answer 1

Answer:

Atomic number of magnesium is 12

and electronic distribution is 2,8,2

Where as atomic number of oxygen is 8

and its electronic distribution is 2,6.

Therefore,in order to completely fill the octet oxygen will gain two electrons from magnesium.

Thus , there will be formation of ionic bond between magnesium and oxygen.
