Answer:
The electronic configuration of the magnesium atom shows that it has two unpaired outermost shell electrons while that of oxygen shows that it has six outermost shell electrons with two of them unpaired.
By means of elecron transfer, magnesium atom donates its two electrons to the oxygen atom to now have a charge of +2 while the oxygen then has a charge of -2. This results in an ionic bonding between the two atoms.

Answer:
By placing the steel wool in a jar with plenty of oxygen and water, you start a chemical reaction. The iron and the oxygen react to form a new reddish-brown substance, called iron oxide or rust. In this experiment, the water level in the glass should rise as the oxygen inside combines with the iron in the steel wool.
