Answer 1

Answer:Hey friend here is your answer!!!!

Explanation:

Answer 2

Formation of Magnesium Chloride by the transfer of electrons.

Explanation:

• From the atomic number of magnesium and chlorine it is inferred that the valence electron of magnesium and chlorine are 2 and 7 respectively.
• The element which has electrons less than 4 donates electron whereas more than 4 accepts electrons to attain octet.
• As magnesium has 2 valence electrons, it donates 2 electrons, whereas each chlorine has 7 valence electrons, it accepts 2 electrons from magnesium and forms magnesium chloride.
• The structural illustration is given in the attachment.
