One chlorine atom will form an ionic bond with one magnesium atom. The magnesium will donate its two valence electrons to the chlorine atom, filling both of their valence electron shells.
Chlorine has 7 valence electrons.
Since fluorine and chlorine are in family 7A, they each have 7 valence electrons. The number of the family corresponds to the number of valence electrons.
3s and 3p, remember Cl has 7 valance electron. 3s^2 and 3p^5
Magnesium has a charge of 2+ and oxygen 2- Magnesium will lose the two "extra electrons" in its valence shell when creating an ionic bond with oxygen. The oxygen will gain these two electrons.

The element chlorine has seven electrons in its valence shell.
There are 7 valence electrons!🤓
A magnesium atom has 2 electrons in its valence shell. A magnesium ion has 8 electrons in its valence shell.

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!
Chlorine has 7 electrons in the outermost shell. It is in the 17th group. It has 7 valence electrons.
Chlorine has 7 valence electrons.
Yes, magnesium achieves the octet state in magnesium chloride by losing two electrons to chlorine, which has seven valence electrons. This results in magnesium having a full outer shell with eight electrons.
Chlorine has 7 valence electrons.
