Answer:
Magnesium combines with chlorine to form magnesium chloride. The equation is given below. Mg+Cl2→MgCl2.
Mg forms ionic bond to Cl by donating its valence electrons to two Cl atoms. The electron configuration of Mg is [Ne]3s². It can achieve a complete octet by losing its two valence electrons to form Mg²⁺. ... The oppositely charges of the magnesium and chloride ions attract each other and form ionic bonds.
