Mg is a metal and does not need the electrons it donates two electrons and becomes stable.
Mg is an ionic element. It typically forms cations with a 2+ charge by losing two electrons to achieve a stable electronic configuration.
Mg is an ionic element. It typically forms cations by losing two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, making it an ionic element.
Magnesium Nitride is Mg3N2. What I think you do is draw it Mg N Mg N Mg and then draw 8 electrons around each Nitrogen so that Mg shares its 2 electrons with Nitrogen and Nitrogen's Pz electron is bumped down into the Px.
Magnesium is divalent- it forms two bonds- most often these are ionic, involving the Mg2+ ion.
No. Mg forms positive ions, Mg2+ ions

Magnesium (Mg) has 12 electrons. To attain a noble gas configuration, Mg would need to lose 2 electrons to have the same electron configuration as a noble gas (like neon). This would result in Mg forming a +2 ion.
Magnesium tends to lend 2 electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Magnesium's electron configuration is [Ne] 3s^2, so by donating 2 electrons, it achieves a full outer shell and becomes a stable Mg^2+ ion.
Mg is an ionic element. It typically forms cations with a 2+ charge by losing two electrons to achieve a stable electronic configuration.
the Lewis formula for MgO is Mg2+[O]2- Which mean Mg loses 2 electrons and O gains 2 electrons to be stable.
