The compound \(\text{MgCl}_2\) (magnesium chloride) is an ionic compound. In this compound, magnesium (Mg) donates two electrons, one to each of the two chloride (Cl) ions, resulting in the formation of magnesium ions (\(\text{Mg}^{2+}\)) and two chloride ions (\(\text{Cl}^-\)).
Ionic compounds like magnesium chloride tend to dissolve well in polar solvents, such as water. This is because the polar solvent molecules can interact with the charged ions in the ionic compound, stabilizing them in solution and allowing them to separate from each other. Therefore, yes, \(\text{MgCl}_2\) is likely to dissolve in a polar solvent.
