Answer:
Magnesium loses two electrons and these two electrons are abstracted by two chlorine atoms each taking one electron.
The charge on Magnesium is Mn2+ and Chlorine is Cl- and these are bonded together through electrostatic forces to form ionic bond to give MgCl2.
It conducts electricity in aqueous state or in molten state due to movement of the ions.
