What is the formation of MgO?

When magnesium reacts with oxygen, the magnesium atom transfers its two outermost electrons to an oxygen atom. By losing two electrons, the magnesium atoms form a magnesium ion (\[M{g^{2 + }}\]) and by gaining two electrons, the oxygen atom forms an oxide ion (\[{O^{2 - }}\]).
