Answer:

B. Two chlorine atoms

Explanation:

This electronic configuration shows that the given atom is magnesium.

Electronic configuration of magnesium:

Mg¹² = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

There are two valance electrons of magnesium that's why it would react with two atoms of chlorine. Chlorine is present in seventeen group. It has seven valance electrons. It required just one electron to get complete octet. While magnesium needed to lose two electrons to get complete octet. That's why two chlorine atoms bonded with one magnesium atom. Thus both would get complete octet.

Mg + Cl₂  →   MgCl₂

Quantitative is anything that is relating to a number value. Think “quantity”

Example:

1. There are 5 ml of water
2. There are 3 beakers
3. It takes 30 minutes for the reaction

Qualitative is about characteristics that can be described

Example

1. The liquid is green
2. The solution turned into a gas
3. Bubbles were produced
