Magnesium is a metal which releases its 2 electron in order to complete its octet

Where as Chlorine is a non metal with high electronegativity, it contain 7 electron in its outermost shell. Therefore it gains an electron to complete its octet

Hence the complete reaction in the form of electron dot structure can be represented as follow:

The bond formed between chlorine and magnesium is ionic bond as electrons are transferred from Mg to Cl.
Two properties of MgCl2 are as follow:
1. It is most commonly used for dust control and road stabilization.
2. Use is ice control.
