Answer:
Shells start from K.
K, L, M ...
Hence, M shell = 3 rd shell
2 electrons in M shell means the other 2 shells that come before it are completely filled.
Therefore, the electronic configuration of the element is 2, 8, 2
Atomic number = 12
Element is Magnesium (Mg).
It forms Mg 2+ cation since it has 2 electrons in its valence shell.
Hence, its chloride will be MgCl2 (since the valency of Cl is -1 )
