hope it helps you

Answer 2

In the given reactions, the correct representation of the ionic compounds is given in OPTION C.

Explanation

IONIC COMPOUNDS -

• The compounds formed by the ions bonded together through ionic bonds.
• The force between positive and negative ions is the electrostatic force.
• The positively charged ion is called a cation and negatively charged is the anion.
• The sodium atom consists of one valence electron in its shell and is an electron donor.
• Magnesium has two valence electrons therefore, both sodium and magnesium form cationic species.
• Chlorine is an electron acceptor and forms an anion.
• When sodium reacts with chlorine, it forms sodium chloride an ionic compound.
• Magnesium reacts with two chlorine molecules to form a stable ionic compound of magnesium chloride.

• The reactions involved are -

                     $Na$ → $Na^+ + e^-$             and                  $Cl + e^-$ → $Cl^-$

                                     $Na^+ + Cl^-$→ $NaCl$

                    $Mg$ → $Mg^2^+ + 2e^-$          and                 $2Cl + 2e^-$ → $2Cl^-$

                                    $Mg + 2Cl$ → $MgCl_2$
