MgCl is magnesium chloride with a 1:1 ratio of magnesium to chlorine atoms, while MgCl2 is magnesium chloride with a 1:2 ratio of magnesium to chlorine atoms. This means that MgCl has one chlorine atom for every magnesium atom, while MgCl2 has two chlorine atoms for every magnesium atom.

MgCl does not exit. It is MgCl2 which is magnesium chloride. It is made with IONIC bonds.


What name for MgCl2?

I don't think you can have MgCl stable. MgCl2 is Magnesium Chloride.


Is MgCl ionic molecule?

The high difference in electronegativity between Mg and Cl, and the fact that Mg is a metal and Cl is a non-metal, means that it's an ionic bond. Magnesium has two valence electrons; one chlorine takes one of them, another chlorine takes the other. The formula is therefore MgCl2.


Is MgCl² ionic or molecular?

MgCl2 is an ionic compound. It is composed of magnesium cations (Mg2+) and chloride anions (Cl-), which are held together by ionic bonds.


How can HG HCl-MgCl H2 be balanced?

The balanced equation for the reaction between hydrochloric acid (HCl) and magnesium (Mg) to form magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and hydrogen gas (H2) is: 2 HCl (aq) + Mg (s) → MgCl2 (aq) + H2 (g)


What are the products of the neutralization reaction between hydrochloric acid HCl and magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH)2?

The products of the neutralization reaction between hydrochloric acid (HCl) and magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) are magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and water (H2O). This reaction is represented by the equation: 2HCl + Mg(OH)2 → MgCl2 + 2H2O.


How many atoms does MgCL have?

If unbalanced the molecule MgCl will have one atom of Mg and one of Cl and therefore two atoms. in real life you would not have MgCl, you would have MgCl2 (where 2 is a subscript). This means there is one atom of Mg and two of Cl and therefore 3 atoms in total.


What is the balance equation for Cu plus MgCl?

Cu + MgCl2 --> no reaction In order for a single replacement/displacement reaction to take place, the free metal must replace the bonded metal in the compound. However, according to the reactivity series of metals, copper does not replace magnesium, however magnesium would replace copper in a compound. Mg + CuCl2 --> Cu + MgCl2. Refer to the related link for a reactivity series of metals.
