I am sorry can you explain it more?
Covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two nonmetals.
Answer:
A particular atom will have the same number of protons and electrons and most atoms have at least as many neutrons as protons. An element is a substance that is made entirely from one type of atom
Explanation:
so In simple terms an atom contains Protons and Electrons and can be found in an Element, but an element comprises of atoms which come together to form up that particular Element
You did not include the statements but since magnesium chloride is ionic substance that we know that magnesium and chlorine formed an ionic bond. Therefore your statement most likely will talk about how one magnesium atom gave up 2 electrons while two chlorine atoms took 1 electron. The reaction looks like Mg+2Cl⇒MgCl₂.
I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.
