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.

What is name for ionic compound MgCl?
The name for the ionic compound MgCl is magnesium chloride.
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.
Is Mgcl an ionic compound?
Yes, MgCl is an ionic compound. It is an ionic compound because the bond between these two elements is an ionic bond. So, what is an ionic bond? An ionic bond is a bond between elements that form cations (positive ions) and anions (negative ions). The rule is thumb is that metals usually form ionic bond with non-metals. This happens since non-metals really want to gain electrons while metals really want to lose electrons, and so they would become anion and cation, respectively. Anions and cations are attracted to each other which create an ionic bond. Mg is a metal and Cl is nonmetal; thus, MgCl is an ionic compound.
Is water ionic?
Water is a polar molecule, not ionic.
Is Agi iONIC OR MOLECULAR?
You misunderstand between Ionic & Molecular. A molecule can be either an ionic molecule or a covalent molecule. A molecule is a given substance. Ionic/Covalent is the type of bonding with in that molecule. 'Agi' Never heard of it. If you mean 'AgI'. (silver iodide). Then it is an ionically bonded molecule. Ag^(+) + I^(-) = AgI(s) NB Single letter elemental symbols are always a CAPITAL letter. Iodine/Iodide is 'I' NOT 'i'.

What is the ratio of MgCl?
Te answer depends on the ratio of MgCl to WHAT!
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.
