Astudent made the lewis dot diagram of a compound as shown.
what is the error in the lewis dot diagram?

Answer : The correct option is, (2) Both electrons of Mg should be transferred to one O because the formula is MgO.

Explanation :

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

Ionic compound are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal.

Covalent compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound.

The covalent compound are usually formed when two non-metals react.

As we know that the magnesium is an alkali metal and has 2 valence electron and oxygen is a non-metal and has 6 valence electrons.

As we know that magnesium atom can donates 2 electrons to a oxygen atom to complete an octet then it forms an ionic compound that is magnesium oxide (MgO).

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is,

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in = 2 + 6 = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 2 number of bonding electrons and 6 number of non-bonding electrons.

Hence, the correct option is, (2) Both electrons of Mg should be transferred to one O because the formula is MgO.

answer; /// i do believe that the correct answer is (a) boiling

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
