Answer:

MgCl2 formed by the transfer of electrons as Mg have its valency +2 and chlorine has its valency -1 so the product form is MgCl2. A magnesium atom, which is a metal in Group II A, tends to lose its 2 outer-shell valence electrons to become a magnesium ion, (i.e. cation). The magnesium metal is said to be oxidized.
