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.
