No. If the reaction described occurs at all, it would form a covalent coordinate bond.
ionic transfers electrons, coavlent shares electrons and ionic has a metal and a nonmetal while covalent has 2 nonmetals
Nonmetals because they have a lot of valence electrons.

No, they arent. Valence electrons are the amount of electrons the element has in its outermost shell. Electrons dont bond, they can either be shared or transferred. An ionic bond transfers electrons and a covalent bond shares electrons.
An element in group 16/VIA, such as oxygen, is most likely to gain two electrons when forming an ionic bond. This is due to the fact that the atoms of the elements in group 16/VIA have six valence electrons and require two more to get a filled valence shell of 8 electrons (octet rule).
At least one, and usually all, of the valence electrons of the metal atom is donated to the valence shell of the nonmetal atom.
An ionic bond forms between a metal and a nonmetal. Ionic bonding transfers electrons.
They are called valence electrons. Ionic is a bond between a nonmetal and a metal. A covalent bond(molecular bond) is between two or more non metals.
A metal and nonmetal react to form an ionic bond. This bond is the result of the nonmetal "desiring" electrons to fill out its valence, and a metal "desiring" to give up its electrons so that it can fill out its valence. This forms a tight bond, because the opposite charges bind them together.
That would be an IONIC BOND.Other facts: They are formed by the combination of a metal and a nonmetal, and have an electronegativity greater or = to 1.7. Also, they conduct electricity in molten form or in a solution, and have a very high melting point.

Yes: Each magnesium atom transfers its two valence electrons to an oxygen atom to form the ionic compound magnesium oxide.
