Question

Using the electronic configuration explain how magnesium

Answer 1

The atomic number for Magnesium is 12 and that of oxygen is 8.

The electron configuration for each is :

Mg = 2 : 8 : 2

O = 2 : 6

Magnesium ionizes by losing two electrons from the outermost energy level to form Magnesium ion.

Oxygen ionizes by gaining two electrons to form an ion of oxygen.

Magnesium ion = Mg²⁺

Oxygen ion = ²⁻

How Magnesium Oxide is formed.

The Magnesium lose two electrons during reaction whereas Oxygen gains two electrons lost by magnesium and together they form Magnesium Oxide.
