I don't think you can have MgCl stable. MgCl2 is Magnesium Chloride.
No. Magnesium Chloride (MgCl2) is an ionic compound. Magnesium loses 2 electrons and the two chloride atoms gain one each.
Two.
Mg has a +2 charge and Cl has a -1 charge.The correct formula is MgCl2
The two elements in magnesium chloride are magnesium and chlorine.
Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2 magnesium+Hydrochloric acid→magnesium chloride+water (H2O)
Examples: magnesium oxide (MgO), magnesium chloride (MgCl2).
Mg(ClO3)2Mg(ClO3)2 is the chemical formula of magnesium chlorate.
Magnesium has a charge of +2 and Chloride has a charge of -1. In order to make magnesium chloride have a net charge of zero, there must be twice as much of the chloride ion than the magnesium ion. The ratio of magnesium to chloride is therefore 1:2. With this knowledge, we can write the chemical equation MgCl2.
2
Examples: - Magnesium oxide: MgO - Magnesium chloride: MgCl2 - Magnesium nitrate: Mg(NO3)2
The formula for magnesium chloride is MgCl2 Note that the II in the written name is not necessary because magnesium only forms the 2+ ion.
