Question

write the formation of magenesium chloride​

Answer 1

Answer:

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 two valence electrons to form Mg²⁺.The oppositely charges of the magnesium and chloride ions attract each other and form ionic bonds.
