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.
