70. Atoms of magnesium and oxygen form ions and ionic bonds in a similar way to atoms of sodium and chlorine. The difference is that instead of having each atom gain or lose one electron, each atom of one of these elements loses two electrons, and each atom of the other element gains two electrons. Describe process that leads to the formation of the ionic bond between magnesium the and oxygen include mention of the charges answer should atoms in magnesium oxide. Your that form on the atoms.
