The element 12Mg24 has 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 electronic configuration. The easiest method for Mg to reach an octet is by

1.

loosing the two electrons in 3s2 level to reach 2s2 2p6 valence electronic configuration

2.

gaining 6 electrons to 3p level to reach 3p6configuration. With this acquisition the Mg will have a  3s2 and 3p6 valence shell configuration

3.

Share 6 electrons with 6 F atoms

4.

None of the above
