Hi, Bina! Non-polar covalent bonding indicates the atoms grouped together have similar electronegativities, so a similar desire to share electrons. Carbon-Hydrogen bonds are a popular example of a non-polar bond. Polar covalent bonding indicates the atoms grouped together are not balanced in their share of the electrons, and one atom has a greater desire for electron density. Oxygen-Hydrogen bonds are a popular example of a polar bond. Ionic bonding is almost magnetic-like in it's behavior, where a highly electronegative molecule is interacting with a low-level electronegative molecule.

And, magnesium chloride formation occurs by transferring electrons of the outer orbits. This ionic bond helps to complete the electron transferring process between atoms. Magnesium chloride solution can conduct electricity due to its electrolytic nature. In its solid state at room temperature, every anion is encircled by cations and vice versa.
However, like a compound, magnesium chloride is neutral. So, magnesium ion forms the ionic bond with two chlorine ions. Thus, the ratio of magnesium ion : chloride ion is 1 : 2 and the simplest magnesium chloride chemical formula is MgCl 2. Look at the following diagram of the magnesium chloride structure to understand their chemical and molecular bonding. Image will be uploaded soon.
Preparation of Magnesium Chloride. Due to various usages in different industrial and commercial purposes, this ionic salt is produced in large amounts. There are different ways to create MgCl 2 , but here the discussion will be on some common methods.
In hexahydrate state, the magnesium ion is octahedral; however, it coordinates with 6 water ligands. The heating process of magnesium chloride hexahydrate is not straightforward. The hydrous form of this salt is heated along with alcohol and gradually distilled off the H 2 O. This way, anhydrous MgCl 2 is extracted from its hydrous state. Magnesium chloride in its anhydrous form is generated by heating hexamine-complex chloride salt as well.
The most preferred method of anhydrous magnesium chloride preparation is the chemical reaction between magnesium and mercury II chloride. Another most common method of producing MgCl 2 is by Dow process. In this process, magnesium hydroxide reacts with hydrochloric acid and form magnesium chloride and water. Following is the chemical formula of this reaction-. Magnesium carbonate can substitute magnesium hydroxide in a similar reaction.
However, as a by-product, carbon dioxide will also be produced along with water. Here is the chemical formula-. Another alternative way to produce MgCl 2 is by the chemical reaction between aluminium chloride and magnesium with aluminium as a by-product. Other Important Reactions. Use Google search box.
