The reaction between Magnesium and chlorine to form magnesium chloride is a redox reaction.
Redox reaction
- When a reaction occurs where one atom is oxidized while the other is reduced is called a redox reaction.
- Here, Magnesium has an electronic configuration . It loses two outer electrons to become a cation and gains an oxidation state of +2. Thus it is oxidized.
- While chlorine has an electronic configuration . It gains one electron to become an anion and has a -1 oxidation state.
- Thus, two chlorine atoms and one magnesium atom react to form . The reaction can be written as follows:
