Final answer:

When sodium donates electrons to oxygen to form Na2O, it illustrates the transfer of electrons in the formation of an ionic compound.


Explanation:

In the formation of an ionic compound between sodium and oxygen, two sodium atoms donate one electron each to oxygen, creating Na+ and O2- ions. This leads to the formation of Na2O, where the number of electrons lost is equal to the number gained, following the law of conservation of matter.
