the following is the answer
Magnesium has an oxidation state of + 2 it needs to form 2 ionic bonds. Chlorine has an oxidation state of -1 it forms only 1 bond . 1 Mg + Cl2 = 1 MgCl2 Magnesium donates 2 electrons 1 to each clorine to allow the chlorines to reach a stable octet state the resulting product is a stable ionic salt. Kep in mind chlorine is diatomic and that is why you see 1 Cl2 and not 2 Cl

1.) 2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl 2.) 2Mg + O2 = 2MgO 3.) 2Cu + Cl2 = 2CuCl 4.) 2Zn + 2HCl = 2ZnCl + H2 5.) Na2CO3 + CaCl2 = CaCO3 + 2NaCl 6.) 3NaOH + FeCl3 = 3NaCl + Fe(OH)3 7.) 2Al + 2HCl = 2AlCl + H2 8.) ZnBr2 + 2AgNO3 = Zn(NO3)2 + 2AgBr 9.) 2KCl + Pb(NO3)2 = 2KNO3 + PbCl2
