1.	Q.3. How is Magnesium Chloride formedby the transfer of electrons? Why does thesolution of Magnesium Chloride conduct electricity?
Answer» <p>Magnesium Chloride is formed by the transfer of electrons.</p><p>They form an ionic bond. An ionic bond is a type of bond in which there is complete transfer of electrons from one atom to to other atom(s). </p><p>Oxidation occurs at Magnesium :</p><p> Mg → Mg^(+2) + 2 e ( e for electrons )</p><p>Reduction occurs at Chlorine :</p><p>Cl + e → Cl^(-1)</p><p>Cl + e → Cl^(-1)</p><p>And the complete reaction is</p><p>Mg^(+2) + 2 Cl^(-1) → MgCl2</p><p>The solution of Magnesium Chloride conducts electricity because it is electrolytic in nature. When current is passed through its solution, the process of electrolysis starts because the solution of Magnesium Chloride starts to ionize .</p><p>Like my answer if you find it useful!</p>
