This is the question- I take a scoop of driveway salt and put it in a bucket with water - stir and dissolve it. The bag says it contained magnesium chloride. Draw a picture of what it would look like at the atom level. I need help please I appreciate it!

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.
