show the formation of MgO by d transfer of electron b)name the cation n anion c)3 properties of ionic compound

a) Here the formation of MgO is shown by electron dot structure.Mg has 2 electrons in its outermost shell and oxygen has 6 electrons in outer most shell.So magnesium give its 2 electrons and Oxygen gain two electrons to complete its octate.

 

b)Here tha cation is known Mg2+ known as magnesium ion. anion is O2- and it is known as oxide.

c) properties of ionic compoun

i) High melting and boiling point

ii)show electrical conductivity in their molten state, 

iii)completely dissociate in ions when taken in water
