<u>Answer:</u> The ionic compound formed is magnesium chloride having formula
<u>Explanation:</u>
Ionic compound is defined as the compound which is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.
The atom which looses the electron is known as electropositive atom and the atom which gains the electron is known as electronegative atom. This bond is usually formed between a metal and a non-metal.
Magnesium is the 12th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of
This element will loose 2 electrons to form ion
Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of
This element will gain 1 electron to form ion
So, for every 1 atom of magnesium, 2 atoms of chlorine are required. Thus, the chemical formula becomes
Hence, the ionic compound formed is magnesium chloride having formula
