Which outcome occurs when anhydrous magnesium chloride decomposes?

💡 Explanation

Heating magnesium chloride drives pyrolysis because thermal energy overcomes lattice energy, leading to ionic bond breakage and subsequent formation of magnesium oxide and HCl gas; therefore, these new molecules form rather than others, because chlorine attracts stray hydrogen rather than covalently bonding with magnesium.
