It forms an octet / stable electronic configuration
There are 8 electrons present in the valence level for all noble gases except helium. This is because in the outermost shell, known as the valence shell, noble gases (excluding helium) have a full octet of electrons, making them stable and unreactive.
negative ion
Barium has two electrons in its outermost shell (the 6s subshell) and typically loses these two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, resembling that of the nearest noble gas, xenon. Therefore, barium needs to give up two electrons to achieve this stable state. As a result, it commonly forms a +2 oxidation state in compounds.
The element that will have a noble gas configuration by accepting two electrons from a magnesium atom is oxygen. By gaining two electrons, oxygen will achieve a stable octet configuration similar to that of a noble gas, fulfilling the octet rule.
An atom in which the outermost energy level is more than half full tends to fill its outermost energy level by adding one or more needed electrons. Such an atom forms a negative ion.

A phosphorus ion (P3-) has 8 electrons in its outermost energy level. This is because phosphorus has 5 electrons in its outermost shell, and when it gains 3 electrons to become an ion, it will have 8 electrons in total in its outermost energy level.
In an ionic bond, the valence electrons of one atom are transferred to another atom, creating positively charged ions (cations) and negatively charged ions (anions). The outermost electrons of the atoms are directly involved in the bond formation.
Magnesium forms a 2+ ion by giving away its two outermost electrons.
The sharing of electrons between atoms forms a covalent bond. If electrons are donated from one atom to another to form a bond this would be an ionic bond.
One. In nature, however, hydrogen forms a diatomic bond making it found as H2.
No. Noble gases exist in nature, and are chemical elements. These are the six noble gases: Helium (He) Neon (Ne) Argon (Ar) Krypton (Kr) Xenon (Xe) and the radioactive Radon (Rn)
