Answer:
1. Magnesium and oxygen atoms bond to form an ionic compound; this is evident because one forms a cation and the other an anion. When an ionic compound is formed, one atom "steals" an electron (or electrons) from another. In this case, an oxygen atom (which is pretty electronegative by the way) "steals" 2 electrons from a magnesium atom. The resulting oxygen anion and magnesium cation attract one another to form a bond (more specifically, an ionic one).
2. The oxygen atom needed two sodium atoms to bond because it needs two additional electrons to achieve a stable octet of electrons. 1 sodium atom provides 1 additional electron after it is "stolen" by oxygen, so 2 sodium atoms are needed in total to form the bond.
3. The magnesium atom needed two fluorine atoms to bond because it needs to lose two electrons to achieve a stable configuration/octet of electrons. 1 fluorine atom "steals" one electron, so 2 are needed in total.

Until now it is estimated U.S. coal production totaled about 9.1 million short tons (MMst) 27%lower than last year.
East of mississippi river totaled 3.7 MMst
West of mississippi river totaled 5.4 MMst
The supply of both types of coal is expected to decline as production from Appalachia falls from 201.5 million tons in 2018 to 170.1 million tons in 2020.
<span>The most appropriate response would be for the nurse to ask the patient about their current concerns. This allows for the patient to actually elucidate what he or she is feeling at the time and does not hamstring the provider into actually giving a set length of time that they feel the patient has left to live, which can vary greatly from person to person.</span>
