A. One atom of bromine
©
B. One atom of helium
C. One atom of carbon
O
D. One atom of sulfur

Answer 1

D.) One atom of Sulfur

Step-by-step explanation:

An atom of sulphur has the oxidation of -2 equivalent to Mg +2. These atoms can easily react in a 1 : 1 mole ratio, to form magnesium sulphide, MgS,

The reaction equation:

`Mg^(2+) + S^(2-)`→
`MgS`
