<span>The solid lines between N and Mg are actually ionic bonds. N has 5 valence electrons (2 of which are paired). Of the 3 that are unpaired, 2 are part of covalent bonds with adjacent carbon atoms. N accepts an extra electron to complete its octet, but gets a formal charge of -1. This allows for formation of an ionic bond with Mg, which is +2. Two of these charged N atoms therefore neutralize the charge of the central Mg. As for the coordinate (dative) covalent bonds, Mg has empty orbitals - the ionic bonds with the charged N atoms give it only 4/8 possible valence electrons.
The other two N atoms (dotted lines) have a formal charge of 0 since they form three covalent bonds with adjacent carbon atoms, but they still have a lone pair. Therefore, just to improve stability, each of these N atoms can "donate" its lone pair to Mg in order to complete its octet.

Explanation:
Oxides and their hydroxide counterparts made possible the industrial innovations we live in. Indeed, steel is a member of this family. Earth's crust contains them in vast quantities, making them the second most common element.
On a molecular scale, you would find that each oxygen atom is coupled with metal or semimetal atoms that fill in the gaps between them in oxide minerals. Oxides are divided into two groups: simple oxides, with a single metal or semimetal added, and complex oxides, where several metals can be incorporated into the molecule's structure. Hydroxides, on the other hand, are composed of metal ions attached to a highly reactive hydroxide ion (OH). Minerals formed by hydroxide are softer and less dense than oxides and usually form at lower temperatures.
