C. Sulfur and oxygen (non metals) forms a covalent bond while the magnesium (a metal) will react with both non metals to form an ionic bond
Removal of the loosely bounded electron is defined by the ionization energy. Chlorine needs less energy to add electrons and has higher ionization power. Thus, option A is correct.
<h3>What is ionization energy?</h3>
The ability of an electron to accept or give electrons to another element in a chemical reaction by forming and creating bonds and the positive and negative charges has been defined by the ionization energy.
Magnesium has lower ionization energy than chlorine due to its large size and smaller nuclear charge. On the other hand, chlorine can easily add electrons to the valence shell which is almost full.
Therefore, option A. chlorine has higher ionization energy and can add electrons with minimum energy.

Fixed vs Variable Oxidation is given below.
Explanation:
1.In its compounds, hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1, except. hydrides where the. oxidation number of hydrogen is -1. In their compounds, the metals with fixed oxidation states have the oxidation number that. corresponds with the fixed oxidation number.
A variable oxidation state is a value that determines the charge of the atom depending on certain conditions.
2. Oxidation state of elements is considered to be of the most important in the study of chemistry. For some elements, this figure is constant known as fixed oxidation , while for others it is variable is called variable oxidation state.
3. MgCl2 : magnesium is in Group IIA and all elements in Group IIA have fixed oxidation numbers of +2
FeCl2 : iron has a variable oxidation number of either +2 or +3 and is not fixed
I would say the second option
Hope this helps *smiles*
Answer:
Magnesium oxide is a type of magnesium mineral supplement that is mostly made of magnesium—it actually contains more magnesium than other magnesium supplements. Magnesium oxide is acquired by burning magnesium with pure oxygen, but this method is quite costly.
