What is the dot structure of MgCl2?

Lewis Structure of MgCl2 Mg has 2 valence electrons whereas Cl has 7 valence electrons. The total number of valence electrons in a molecule of magnesium chloride = 2*1 + 7*2 = 16. Magnesium, as we all know, is an alkaline earth metal. Chlorine, on the other hand, is a halogen and therefore a non-metal.

What is the hybridization of MgCl2?

In the case of Magnesium chloride(MgCl2), Mg is sp hybridized with a bond angle of 180o and hence is linear.

What shape is MgCl2?

Names
Refractive index (nD)	1.675 (anhydrous) 1.569 (hexahydrate)
Structure
Crystal structure	CdCl2
Coordination geometry	(octahedral, 6-coordinate)

Is MgCl2 a salt?

Magnesium dichloride is a magnesium salt comprising of two chlorine atoms bound to a magnesium atom. It is a magnesium salt, an inorganic chloride and a magnesium halide.

Is MgCl2 an acid or base?

The salts of strong acid and weak base give acidic solutions . Magnesium chloride is slightly acidic because it is formed by the reaction of a relatively weak base. Thus MgCl2 is slightly acidic in nature.

What is the shape of alcl3?

Is MgBr2 acid or base?

H2C2O4, (NH4)2SO4, MgBr2, NaOH, HCl, Sr(OH)2, LiCl, H2SO3 Because the anions of weak acids are somewhat basic (they have some tendency to accept a proton from water and form hydroxide ions), such salts are basic. MgBr2.

Is H2SO4 a salt acid or base?

Strong Acids	Strong Bases
HCl (hydrochloric acid) HNO3 (nitric acid) HClO4 (perchloric acid) H2SO4 (sulfuric acid)	NaOH (sodium hydroxide) KOH (potassium hydroxide) Ca(OH)2 (calcium hydroxide)
