Magnersium is a non metal element. There are 12 electrons in a single atom.
Magnesium is a metal element. There are 12 electrons in a single atom.
The element is aluminum (atomic number 13). In its electron-dot structure, aluminum will show three valence electrons arranged around the element's chemical symbol.
This element is magnesium (Mg); the atom in the neutral state.

Magnesium, Mg
Mg -magnesium.
Magnesium (Mg) with two valence electrons
Magnesium, Mg, atom number 12, 12 protons and 12 electrons.
Magnesium is a group 2A element, and has 2 valence electrons. Thus, for it to become an ion (Mg^2+) is loses those 2 valence electrons.
Mg is the symbol for the element magnesium and could be used to represent a neutral atom of magnesium. Mg2- does not occur, but Mg2+ does, and is the symbol of a magnesium ion, which is a magnesium atom that has lost two electrons.
