Question

How is magnesium chloride formed by the transfer of electrons why does the solution of magnesium chloride conduct electricity mention type of Ions formed in the compound

Answer 1

Magnesium chloride a ionic compound is formed by the transferring of electrons.
magnesium having 2 valence electron and chlorine having 1 valence electron are interchanged with each other so the resultant compound is the MgCl2.

also in order of being an ionic compound and the due the presence of free electrons it conducts electricity

Answer 2

For formation of magnesium chloride, refer to the attached photo

Magnesium chloride is as ionic bond (transfer of electrons) . We know that, ionic bond conducts electricity because they contain charged particles known as cation and anion. Thus, magnesium chloride conducts electricity.

Magnesium forms the cation ( positively charged)

Chloride forms the anion ( negatively charged)
