Answer:
Mg and Cl

Step-by-step explanation:
The magnesium would lose two electrons, becoming +2 charged and two chlorines (not one) would each gain one electron, each becoming -1 charged in the process.

The three ions would adhere (bond) to each other by the positive/negative attraction between the ions.
