Hi there,
In this process, Magnesium is an Electron Donator and chlorine act as electron receiver. Magnesium has to lose its two Electrons and chlorine has to gain one electron to achieve their complete Octate. Then ionic Bond formation takes place between Mg and Cl ions which gives Magnesium chloride as Resulting Compound.
Why does MgCl2 conduct electricity:
Magnesium chloride is an ionic compound. Magnesium chloride release ions in the solution which conduct electricity.
Hope it helps you.
