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.
Happy Holidays!

Answer:
While researchers have discovered that there are an excessive number of receptor sites for dopamine, it is not the only neurotransmitter involved in schizophrenia.
Explanation:
Answer:
In the case study of the Chicago cyanide murder, the oxygen levels were very low which lead to the death of the cells in the body (there would be signs of dead cells in the victims' bodies).
Explanation:
The mitochondrion is the powerhouse of all cells in the animal body, it is responsible for cellular respiration and production of adenosine triphosphate or ATP.
When the cyanide stops the activities of the mitochondrion, each cell in the body begins to die as a result of hypoxia, which is a condition where the body or a part of the body is deprived of oxygen.
