Answer:
3) Ionic
Explanation:
The solid formed when a bond occurs between magnesium and oxygen is an ionic bond. This bond type occurs between a metal and non-metal.
- Magnesium is the metal
- Oxygen is the non - metal
- Due to the large electronegativity difference between the two species, the metal loses electrons which the non-metal oxygen gains
- They both complete their octet and electrostatic attraction leads to the formation of ionic bonds.
