When magnesium (Mg) reacts with chlorine (Cl) to form MgCl2, each atom of magnesium(gains,loses)(1,2,3,4) electron(s). As a result, each magnesium ion has a(1+,2+.3+,4+,1-,2-,3-.4-)charge.

Answer:

2

they will get rid of 2 electrons

Step-by-step explanation:

When magnesium (Mg) reacts with chlorine (Cl) to form MgCl2, each atom of magnesium(gains,loses)(1,2,3,4) electron(s) in a for all intents and purposes major way. As a result, each magnesium ion mostly has a(1+,2+.3+,4+,1-,2-,3-.4-)charge, demonstrating how when magnesium (Mg) reacts with chlorine (Cl) to form MgCl2, each atom of magnesium(gains,loses)(1,2,3,4) electron(s), which mostly is fairly significant.
