MgCl2\xa0is an ionic compound because this compound is formed by the transfer of electrons between magnesium atom and chlorine atoms. Magnesium atom loses two electrons to\xa0form\xa0magnesium cation whereas each chlorine atom accepts one electron to\xa0form\xa0chloride ion (anion).\xa0Magnesium (Atomic number = 12) has\xa0electronic configuration\xa02, 8, 2. It loses 2 electrons to complete octet\xa0configuration\xa0in its valence shell. Chlorine (Atomic number = 17) has\xa0electronic configuration\xa02, 8, 7.
