Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a bond is formed by sharing of electrons then it is known as a covalent bond and when a bond is formed by transfer of electrons then it is known as an ionic bond.

Atomic number of magnesium is 12 and its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 2. Atomic number of oxygen is 8 and its electronic configuration is 2, 6.

So, in order to attain stability magnesium will lose two electrons and oxygen will gain two electrons. Hence, an ionic bond will be formed.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement they form an ionic bond by exchanging two electrons best describes how magnesium (mg) and oxygen (o) bond.

Which type of telescope does not require darkness in order to be able to use it?
exis [7]

Answer:

A type of telescope that does not require darkness in order to be able to use it is the refracting telescope

Explanation:

A refracting telescope consists of  a lens and an eyepiece collects light which is then focused to present a magnified, bright and clear  image.

The incident light on a refracting telescope is bent by refraction such that the light is focused to the focal point.

In refracting telescopes, the image is formed by bending light, that is by refraction.

The refracting telescope technology has been applied to binoculars and camera zoom lenses.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:No, it doesn't move easily downward because it will try to resist the movement ,due to a resistance force of inertia that it possess at rest.

Explanation:when an object has higher or larger mass it tends to resist any motion given to it unlike the one with lower mass.

The larger the mass the more resistance force an object has.
