Question

Using Lewis Dot diagrams: show how the transfer of electrons occurs in a magnesium and fluorme stoms to form the ionic compound with a stable octet. Include the illustration of the before and after bonding. What is the name of the compound? Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.​

Answer 1

Answer:

What happens when magnesium bonds with fluorine?

Magnesium and fluorine combine to form an ionic compound. What is the formula for the compound? Mg most commonly forms a 2+ ion. This is because Mg has two valence electrons and it would like to get rid of those two ions to obey the octet rule.
