What happens to an atom of magnesium (Mg) when it forms an ionic bond in which it has the same electron configuration as the noble gas neon?
For Mg to acquire the same electron configuration as Neon, it must lose 2 of its valence electrons. It thus obtains a 2+ charge. The 2 electrons that it loses can go to an accepting atom, such as O, S, Cl, etc. to form an ionic bond, where the accepting atom has a negative charge.
Which one has more electrons neon-10 or neon-12?
Neither - they both have the same number of electrons.
What species has 11 protons and 10 electrons?
Neon has 10 protons in its nucleus, but it naturally has the same number of electrons surrounding it, making it neutral. It is possible to ionize neon, giving it 2 extra electrons and a charge of -2, but it won't retain ionization for any appreciable length of time
What noble gas has same electron arrangement as the oxide ion?
Neon, if you are talking about an oxygen ion.
A magnesium atom has 12 electrons. When it reacts it usually loses 2 electrons. How does this loss make magnesium more stable?
Losing 2 electrons gives it 10 - which is the same electron configuration as the noble (and extremely stable) gas Neon.
How magnesium atom with 10 electrons migrates to neon?
Mg2+ has 10 electrons. Neon also has 10 electrons. This means Mg2+ and Ne are isoelectronic (Mg doesn't migrate to Ne, the terminology is isoelectronic meaning having the same number of electrons)
What is the general atomic number of neon?
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. The number of protons in an atom is what gives the atom its elemental identity. The number of neutrons can change resulting in different isotopes of the same element. The number of electrons can change, resulting in different valence states of the same element. If the number of protons changes, then an atom of neon is no longer neon. So the atomic number of neon is always 10, because neon always has 10 protons.
Does altering the number of protons in the nucleus change the number of electrons?
Only if electrical neutrality is required. A sodium cation, for example, has the same number of electrons as a neon atom.

Which one has more electrons neon-10 or neon-12?
Neither - they both have the same number of electrons.
How many electrons will Magnesium lose to have the same electron configuration has Neon?
Mg 2+ Has the same electron configuration as neon. Two electrons lost to do this.

What happens to an atom of magnesium when it forms an ionic bond in which it has the same electron configuration as the noble gas neon?
study island answer- It gives up two electrons
What is an atom called when you have the same numbers of protons as electrons?
On average, in any atom, you will have the same number of electrons and protons.
What noble gas has same electron arrangement as the oxide ion?
Neon, if you are talking about an oxygen ion.
A magnesium atom has 12 electrons. When it reacts it usually loses 2 electrons. How does this loss make magnesium more stable?
Losing 2 electrons gives it 10 - which is the same electron configuration as the noble (and extremely stable) gas Neon.
In the compound sodium fluoride NaF thev sodium atom loses one electron and the fluorine atom gains one electron to form ions that have electrons configurations similar to?
neon only because sodium loses an electron an its outer shell becomes empty making its configuration the same as neon and fluorine gains an electron making its configuration the same as neon as well.
