(i) Write the electron-dot structures for Sodium, Oxygen, and Magnesium

(ii) Show the formation of $N{a}_{2}O$ and $MgO$ by the transfer of electrons

(iii) What are the ions present in these compounds?

Answer 1

(i) The representation of elements is referred to as electron-dot structure for elements
(ii) The ions present in $N{a}_{2}O$ are $N{a}^{+}$ and $O^{2^{-}}$ ions and in $MgO$ are ${Mg}^{2^{+}}$ and $O^{2^{-}}$ ions.
