3 levels (shells) which contain 2,8,2 electrons.
2.
Magnesium, Mg, has an electronic configuration of
1s2
2s2, 2p6
3s2
The electron energy levels 1 and 2 are full.
Three levels, the last level having only 2 electrons.
There are two electrons in the 3s sublevel in a magnesium atom in its ground state. Its electron configuration is 1s22s22p63s2.

Magnesium has 12 protons and electrons and its electronic configuration is 2.8.2, therefor it has 2 electrons in its 3rd energy level or elcectron outer shell
The Magnesium atom will lose 2 of its electrons to become a Magnesium ion with 10 electrons. (Mg2+) How many electrons does a magnesium ion have? How many electrons does a fluoride ion have? How many electrons does a fluoride ion have?
no. of electrons to fill an energy level = 2n2. = 2x32 = 18
Third energy level
Helium has only one energy level with two electrons. It does not have electrons in other energy levels in its ground state.
2 electrons. Magnesium has 12 total, in 3 shells, 2,8,2There are two electrons in magnesium's third energy level.
2
2 electrons are in magnesiums last energy level
There are six electrons are in the second energy level of magneisum. A further two are on the first energy level and the last two are on the third energy level.
Magnesium (Mg) has two electrons in it's lowest (s) orbital.
8
Magnesium has 12 protons and electrons and its electronic configuration is 2.8.2, therefor it has 2 electrons in its 3rd energy level or elcectron outer shell
There are 2 outer shell electrons in Magnesium. Remember, it's in the "s" orbital, which can only accomodate 2 electrons.
If you are talking about the electronic structure, which is 2.8.2. This would therefore mean that there are 2 electrons in the outer shell of magnesium.
There are 8 electrons in the third energy level of a calcium atom.
