Exercise : MgCl2

Draw the formation of Magnesium chloride?

Answers :

             

Explanation :Sodium chloride , MgCl2

•Electron arrangement of magnesium atom is 2.8.2

•magnesium atom has Two valence electron.

•magnesium atom releases two electron to form magnesium ion,Mg+2 to achieve a stable octet arrangement.

•Electron arrangement of chlorine atom is 2.8.7

•Chlorine atom has seven valence electron.

•Two Chlorine atom accept one electron form

 chloride ion,Cl- to achieve the stable octet arrangement

•Magnesium ion,Mg+2 and chloride ion, Cl- are attracted

 with strong electrostatic force. Called ionic bond.
