How is Magnesium Chloride formed by the transfer of electrons? Why does the solution of Magnesium chloride

conduct electricity

​

Answer 1

✨✨◼◼ANSWER ◼◼✨✨

⚫Magnesium chloride is formed by transfer of electrons from magnesium to two chlorine atoms.

◼Magnesium is metal and according to its mettalic property it will lose its two electrons to be stable like the nearest noble gas neon.

◼Chlorine is a non metal univalent compound and to be stable like nearest noble gas argon it will gain one electron.

◼Since, magnesium has +2 as valence so two chlorine atoms takes gets electron from magnesium and forms magnesium chloride.

◼So, Magnesium to be stable like neon loses electrons and chlorine to be stable like argon gains electrons.

➡[Cl^-1][Mg^+2][Cl^-1]

➡MgCl2.

✨✨◼◼Reason :---◼◼✨✨

➡Magnesium chloride conducts electricity in solution state because it's a strong ionic compound which when dissolved in water forms ions which will conduct electricity in its molten state .

➡While magnesium is in the Solis state it's bonded by strong electrostatic force of attraction due to which ions won't be formed and it will not conduct electricity.
