A. State what happens when magnesium ions are formed, in terms of loss or gain of electrons. Give the name for this type of reaction
B. When they react with sodium, sulfur atoms each Gain two electrons. When chlorine atoms react with sodium, they each gain one electron. Explain the difference

Well I'm doubly positive you get Mg++, so think it through from there
This may help. A bit of googling or a look in any good chemistry book should help with all these.
For B think of the outer shells- the number of electrons.
