    Nickle

    Explanation:

    In statement it is given that the metal "M" has a formula "MCl₂" which means it has a charge of + 2 as each Chlorine atom has - 1 charge. Therefore, it is cleared that this metal has lost 2 electrons and originally it was carrying 28 electrons.

    After that periodic table is concerned and a metal with 28 atomic number was tracked because a neutral atom with 28 electrons must have 28 protons and protons are infact the atomic number.

    Hence, in periodic table the metal with 28 atomic number is found to be Nickle.
