Answer: The correct formula is 
Explanation:
For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.
Here magnesium is having an oxidation state of +2 called as 
cation and bromine 
is an anion with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral .
The cations and anions being oppositely charged attract each other through strong coloumbic forces and form an ionic bond.
Answer:
Explanation:
a. Oxidation : 2O + 4e^- ------> 2O^2-
b. Reduction: 2Sr - 4e- -------> Sr^2+
c. Balanced redox reaction
2Sr + O2 ------------> 2Sr O
Oxidation and reduction can be defined by various means, addition of oxygen, removal of hydrogen, removal of electrons. For this reaction, this definition is used, oxidation is the loss of electrons while reduction is the gaining of electrons.
In (a) oxidation half reaction, the valency of oxygen is zero and then moves into lossing two electrons resulting into -2 valency.
In (b) reduction half reaction, the valency of Sr is zero and gains electrons resulting into valency of 2.
In the overall redox reaction, Sr and O2 with valency of 0 each reacts together and form SrO with valency of 2 and -2 respectively, which gives 0 and then balances the equation.
