Want this question answered?
Magnesium is a group II metal and chlorine is a nonmetal halogen. So,Mg 2+ ( as the cation )and2Cl - ( as the anion )would form the ionic bond,MgCl2
Carbon can form double bond, but chlorine will not form double bond.
Chlorine can form both ionic and covalent bonds. For example:-NaCl- Here bond between chlorine and Sodium is ionic.HCl- Here bond between Hydrogen and Chlorine is covalent.
Yes, two chlorine atoms can bond, to form Cl2, which is the elemental form of chlorine.. The individual atoms do not gain or lose electrons but share them forming a covalent bond.
hydrogen sulfide
This bond is ionic.
Yes
Magnesium atoms, which form divalent cations, can each bond ionically with two chloride ions, because chlorine atoms form anions with only one negative charge each. ("Chloride atoms" as written in the question do not exist: chlorine atoms form chloride ions by gaining one electron each from less electronegative atoms.)
Covalent. CH3-Cl = chloromethane CH2-Cl2 = di-chloromethane CH-Cl3 - tri-chloromethane CCl4 = tetrachloromethane. All the bonds are covalent. However, because of chlorines strong electronegativity , the electrons in the C-Cl bond polarise towards the chlorine.

Oh yes, potassium and chlorine form an ionic bond.
Chlorine can form both ionic and covalent bonds, with metals and non-metals respectively.
Chlorine has 7 valence electrons and needs one more electron to form octet. Hence each chlorine will form only one covalent bond and not two bonds (or double bond).
