Answer:

I think this is it

Water can have two different densities if it has substances dissolved in it. ... When liquid water freezes it becomes solid water or ice, which is less dense than liquid water. The fact that solid water (ice) is less dense than liquid water is evident in the way ice floats in a glass of water.

Magnesium chloride is a salt formed with ionic bonds between one magnesium ion and two chloride ions. Magnesium has two electron

Answer:

The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are compound formed from the transfer of electron(s). One atom of the element loses electron(s) while the other atom gains electron(s).

The compound Magnesium chloride is an ionic compound . The bond between an atom of magnesium and 2 atoms of chlorine is an ionic bonding.

The valency electron of magnesium is 2 electron , for the atom of magnesium to attain octet rule, it will easily lose it 2 electrons to the chlorine atoms.

The chlorine atom on the other hand has 7 valency electrons, to attain octet configuration it will most likely gain 1 electron to become stable.

The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.
