Question

define electrovalent compound and draw a dot structure of magnesium chloride
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Electrovalent compounds are are those compounds which are formed by loss or gain of electrons. Since these compounds are formed by loss or gain of electrons so these compounds are also known as ionic compounds. For example NaCl /sodium chloride is formed by transfer of electrons from sodium to chlorine which involves formation of charges so NaCl is an electrovalent or ionic compound

Answer 2

Electrovalent or ionic compounds are characterized by having ionic bonds between oppositely charged ions.
