Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When there occurs sharing of electrons between two chemically combining atoms then it forms a covalent bond.  Whereas is there occurs transfer of electrons from one atom to another then it is known as an ionic bond.

As, atomic number of magnesium is 12 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 2.  

Hence, in order to become stable in nature it will donate its valence electrons to oxygen atom.  

As atomic number of oxygen is 8 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8. So, in order to attain stability it will readily react with magnesium atom.

As a result, MgO compound will be formed due to transfer of electrons from magnesium to oxygen atom.  Therefore, an ionic bond will be formed.

Thus, we can conclude that ionic bond holds these atoms of both magnesium and oxygen together.

What is a translation,transcript
Flauer [41]

Answer:

A translation of an academic transcript should be a word-for-word rendering of the document from one language into another. A translation is distinct from a credential evaluation. An evaluation explains the meaning of the transcript.

The simulation supports the scientific law : I.e TRUE

<h3>The scientific law of conservation of mass</h3>

The scientific law of conservation of mass states that the mass of a substance remains the same in a closed system  as the substance/matter undergoes a chemical reaction. during chemical reaction the matter changes from one form to another. Therefore measuring the mass of matter in an object before it undergoes a chemical reaction support the scientific law as the mass of reactants is equal to mass of product.

Hence we can conclude that the simulation supports the scientific law : I.e TRUE.
