Quick Answer: The Formation of Magnesium Oxide Ion Model shows the ionic bond between magnesium and oxygen: magnesium loses two electrons, oxygen gains two, and the resulting ions form magnesium oxide (MgO). It is a 3D, base-mounted model with labelled parts.

About This Product
The model gives teachers something concrete to point to when explaining why a metal atom gives up electrons and a non-metal atom takes them. It is used in lessons on electron transfer, ion formation and atomic structure, with students tracing how the two atoms end up as a stable compound. Laboratories and colleges in Serbia, Chile, United States, United Arab Emirates, Nicaragua and Republic of the Congo can buy the Formation of Magnesium Oxide Ion Model through an export order.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many electrons does the model show being transferred?
It shows magnesium losing two electrons and oxygen gaining two, forming the ions that make up magnesium oxide.
