Answer:

B. Both electrons of Mg should be transferred to one O.

Explanation:

Metals react by loosing electrons while non metals react by gaining electrons.

Reactions occur as each element strives to attain an octet electron configuration in the outer energy level.

It is easier for magnesium to loose 2 electrons than to gain six because loosing the two requires less energy.

Oxygen on the other hand reacts by gaining the two electrons lost by magnesium since it is easier to gain the two than to loose the six. Gaining the two electrons for oxygen requires less energy than loosing the six.

In summary, magnesium looses two electrons that are transferred to oxygen.

What are valance electrons
Leni [432]

valence electron is an outer shell electron that is associated with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond if the outer shell is not closed; in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.

Which kind of element forms covalent bonds give two reasons for this
ANEK [815]
Covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two nonmetals. A covalent bond involves a pair of electrons being shared between atoms.
Atoms form covalent bonds in order to reach a more stable state.
A given nonmetal atom can form a single, double, or triple bond with another nonmetal. Which type of bond is formed between the atoms depends on their numbers of valence electrons.
