Is this compound possible? Someone asked me and I wasn't sure.

I mean, Mg is +2 and O is -2, so you would think you'd just get MgO.

 

But what if you had the Mg bonded to two O, and then those two O bonded to a third, to make like a square. Would that be stable?

It might be possible, but just extremeley unstable. Probaly impact sensitive. Try a google search on magnesium trioxide
