Elements of group $N a$ form $X C l$ halide.
Elements of group $M g$ form $X C l_{2}$ halide.
Elements of group $A l$ form $X C l_{3}$ halide.
Elements of group $S i$ form $X C l_{4}$ halide.

As an element, $X$ forms a chloride with the formula $X C l_{2}$ , which is solid with a high melting point. $X$ would most likely be in the same group of $M g$ .
