Answer:

Magnesium chloride.

Step-by-step explanation:

When magnesium and chloride react with each other produces magnesium chloride. Magnesium belongs to second group in the periodic table which means it has two electrons in its outermost shell while on the other hand, chlorine belongs to seven group which means it has seven electrons in its outermost shell so it needs one electron to become stable. So in the reaction, magnesium loses two electrons and become cation whereas two chlorine atoms receives two electrons from magnesium and become anion. Ionic bond type is present between magnesium and chlorine atoms.
