Answer:

Both electrons of Mg should be transferred to one O.

Explanation:

This is because metals like to lose electrons whereas non metals like to gain electrons in an ionic compound. MgO is an ionic compounds. So Magnesium being a metal in group 2 of periodic table, it wants to donate 2 electrons to get to the octet rule, so it donates its electrons and oxygen accepts them to fill its octet rule.

Answer B

Mg has a positive ionic charge because it hoped to loose its two electrons to make it stable or happy

O had a negative ionic charge bc it wants to gain electrons to make it stable or happy

therefore,

QA) O would not want/wouldn't use up the energy to transfer 6 of its electrons and Mg would accept O's electrons
Q3) goes against laws of chemistry
Q4) Mg can not gain 2 extra electrons unless it is a double molecule (which it is not) a

The answer is 
<span>2PbS(s) + 3O2(g) = 2PbO(s) + 2SO2(g)

Your answer is not yet balanced because you have 3 oxygen atoms. it should be balanced by multiplying both side by 2 such as the balanced equation I made. To check it, I will explain why your answer is not yet balanced.

check: (from your equation)
</span> 1-Pb-1
 1-S-1
2 -O-3
the difference between the reactant and the product of Oxygen will prove that it is not yet balanced.

If you use 2PbS(s) + 3O2(g) = 2PbO(s) + 2SO2(g), to check it:
2-Pb-2
 2-S-2
6 -O-6
then this is now balance
