Oxygen gains two electrons when it bonds to form a complete outer shell and magnesium loses two electrons when bonding to gain its full outer shell.
As electrons are negative, the oxygen (which gains electrons) will become negative and the magnesium (which loses electrons) will become positive.
The negative and positive ions will then attract to one another due to the magnetic pull of the positive and negative.
Answer:

Explanation:
Answer:
Option A.
2Na + 2H2O —> 2NaOH + H2
Explanation:
To know which option is correct, we shall do a head count of the number of atoms present on both side to see which of them is balanced. This is illustrated below below:
For Option A:
2Na + 2H2O —> 2NaOH + H2
Reactant >>>>>>> Product
2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 2 Na
4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 4 H
2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 2 O
Thus, the above equation is balanced.
For Option B:
2Na + 2H2O —> NaOH + H2
Reactant >>>>>>> Product
2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 1 Na
4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 3 H
2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 1 O
Thus, the above equation is not balanced.
For Option C:
2Na + H2O —> 2NaOH + H2
Reactant >>>>>>> Product
2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 2 Na
2 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 4 H
1 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 2 O
Thus, the above equation is not balanced.
For Option D:
Na + 2H2O —> NaOH + 2H2
Reactant >>>>>>> Product
1 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 1 Na
4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 5 H
2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 1 O
Thus, the above equation is not balanced.
From the illustrations made above, only option A is balanced.
1.hydrogen
2.carbon
3.argon
4.titanium
5.cesium
