Magnesium ions have a +2 charge, while chlorine ions have a -1 charge. This results in an electrostatic attraction between the two ions, leading to the formation of an ionic bond. The magnesium ion and chlorine ion bond together to form magnesium chloride.

No, I would expect a chlorine ion to be slightly larger than a magnesium ion. Chlorine gains an electron to form a chloride ion, which increases its electron cloud size, while magnesium loses electrons to form a magnesium ion, making it slightly smaller due to the loss of electron shielding.
