No such substance as 'Mgcl'.

If you mean magnesium chloride, then the formula is 'MgCl2'. Note the number and the capital letters.

All substances, however they combine are molecules; so it is molecular.

However, it is NOT covalent , but IONIC.

Magnesium ionises two electrons to become the cation 'Mg^(2+)'.

Chlorine has electron affinity , and accepts one electron , per atom, to become the chloride anion 'Cl^(-)'.

These ions then combine as

Mg^(2+) + Cl^(-) + Cl^(-) =

Mg^(2+) + 2Cl^(-) = MgCl2.
