Question 10 of 10 • TX-Integrated Physics and Chemistry A-CR
These diagrams show two atoms of fluorine and an atom of magnesium.
Answer
A
A magnesium atom accepts six electrons from the fluorine atoms → Each fluorine atom donates three of the electrons → The magnesium atom becomes a -2 ion → Each fluorine atom becomes a +1 ionB
A magnesium atom donates two electrons to the fluorine atoms → Each fluorine atom accepts one of the electrons → The magnesium atom becomes a -2 ion → Each fluorine atom becomes a +1 ionC
