Mg has a positive 2 charge ( wants to give away 2 electrons). Cl has a negative one charge (wants to gain an electron). Since it is a bond between a non metal and metal it is a ionic bond, therefore you cross the charges.
Your answer should be: MgCl2 (where the two is written as a subscript of Cl and we don't write one because it is 'understood' )
