Here are the answers to your questions based on the periodic table and the properties of magnesium and chlorine:
**Question 1: How many valence electrons do a magnesium atom and a chlorine atom have?**
- **Response:** Magnesium has two valence electrons and Chlorine has seven.
**Question 2: Predict as to the type of bonds formed between magnesium and chlorine.**
- **Response:** Magnesium and chlorine form ionic bonds.
**Question 3: Predict the number of Magnesium that will bond with the number of Chlorine.**
- **Response:** One magnesium will bond with two chlorine.
**Question 4: Why do magnesium and chlorine bond the way they do?**
- **Response:** They each want to have a stable configuration of eight valence electrons.
This is based on the understanding that magnesium (Group 2) has two valence electrons and chlorine (Group 17) has seven valence electrons. Magnesium tends to lose its two electrons and chlorine tends to gain one electron, leading to the formation of ionic bonds. Additionally, one magnesium atom can bond with two chlorine atoms to achieve stable electron configurations.
