Question

Write the electron dot structure for magnesium and chlorine and show the formation of magnesium chloride

Answer 1

mg forms ionic bond to Cl by donating its valence electrons to two Cl atoms . The electron configuration of Mg is [Ne]3s². It can achieve a complete octet by losing its components

Answer 2

Electron dot structure for magnesium and chlorine and show the formation of magnesium chloride.

• The main requirement to draw the electron dot structure is the valence electrons.
• Accordingly, the valence electron of magnesium and chlorine are 2 and 7 respectively.
• The element which has electrons less than 4 donates electron whereas more than 4 accepts electrons to attain octet.
• As magnesium has 2 valence electrons, it donates 2 electrons, whereas each chlorine has 7 valence electrons, it accepts 2 electron from magnesium and forms magnesium chloride.
