Solution

The correct option is A Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.
Magnesium Oxide (MgO) has a higher melting point which is around 2,8000C. This is because its Mg2+ and O2 ions have a greater number of charges, and so form stronger ionic bonds.
