Mg donates its two outermost electrons to 2 chlorine atoms. hence they both complete their outermost shells and MgCl2 is formed

Heya...
❤Here is your answer ❤
In order to achieve a complete octate, magnesium has to lose its two valence electrons similarly, for chlorine to achieve its octate, it has to gain one electron, which is why magnesium combines with chlorine by donating its two valence electrons and forms an ionic bond. Chlorine receives these two valence electrons and forms one magnesium and 2 chloride ions
Mg + Cl-- MgCL2
Conduction of electricity:
Magnesium chloride only conducts electricity when in molten or liquid state. It is an ionic compound and in liquid state it releases its ions when enables them to conduct electricity.
