An element in a similar period to chlorine would be .?
Magnesium
An element in a similar period chlorine would be?
Magnesium
What time of bond would form with magnesium and chlorine?
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
Which nonmetals could form an ionic compound with magnesium with the formula MgX2 (where X represents the nonmetal)?
The halogens would bond with magnesium in such a ration. They are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine.
Is MgCl2 Ionic or compound?
Ionic because in a dot diagram Magnesium has 2 valence electrons and chlorine has 7 valence electrons. With 2 chlorine atoms there are two spots for electrons to jump over because each chlorine atom has room for one more electron and so both of magnesium's valence electrons would jump over to either chlorine. I hope this helped!

Which would form a negative ion lithium aluminum magnesium or chlorine?
Chlorine would form a negative ion and the other three positive ions.
How many electrons does magnesium have in its outermost electron as a result you would expect magnesium to form ions charge of?
fourteen thousand
Does chlorine affect heat rash?
Chlorine itself is a skin irritant, so you would expect it to worsen a rash of any type.
Which nonmetals could form an ionic compound with magnesium with the formula MgX2 (where X represents the nonmetal)?
The halogens would bond with magnesium in such a ration. They are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine.

I hope this helped!
What type of bond will most likely be formed if magnesium react with Chlorine?
It would form a ionic bond due the the Mg2+ and 2Cl-.
Would you expect the ions in a sample of magnesium fluoride to have a strong or weak attraction for each other?
Strong Attraction
Is MgBr2 covalent or ionic bond?
Ionic because in a dot diagram Magnesium has 2 valence electrons and chlorine has 7 valence electrons. With 2 chlorine atoms there are two spots for electrons to jump over because each chlorine atom has room for one more electron and so both of magnesium's valence electrons would jump over to either chlorine.
