What is the formation of MgCl2?
MgCl2 formed by the transfer of electrons as Mg have its valency +2 and chlorine has its valency -1 so the product form is MgCl2. A magnesium atom, which is a metal in Group II A, tends to lose its 2 outer-shell valence electrons to become a magnesium ion, (i.e. cation). The magnesium metal is said to be oxidized.

Aluminium chloride/Formula
What is the formation of AlCl3?
What is Aluminium Chloride (AlCl3)? Aluminium chloride is also sometimes referred to as aluminium trichloride or aluminium (III) chloride. The compound is formed when aluminium and chlorine are reacted together. Its chemical formula is written as AlCl3.
What is the Iupac name of MgCl2?
What is the Lewis structure of AlCl3?
AlCl3 lewis structure contains three bonded pairs and a total of 9 lone pairs. The central atom of the AlCl3 lewis structure is exceptional to the octet rule as it holds stability with only 6 electrons. In this tutorial, we will draw the lewis structure of Aluminum chloride with simple steps and all possible explanations.
Why is the molecular geometry of AlCl3 trigonal planar?
The molecular geometry of AlCl3 is trigonal planar because the central atom aluminium is bonded with three chlorine atoms and it contains no lone pair, this means, distortion around the central position will not happen because of no lone pair. Hence, the three bonded atoms (chlorine) are arranged like a triangle around the central atom (aluminium)
Is AlCl3 polar or nonpolar?
AlCl3 is a nonpolar molecule because its net dipole moment is zero and charges are uniformly distributed all over the atom. In the AlCl3 lewis structure, a total of 9 lone pairs are present but no lone pair on the central atom.
