How many electrons does mg2 plus HAVE?

Magnesium's atomic number is 12. Thus, neutral magnesium would have 12 electrons. Mg2+ therefore has 2 less electrons, or 10.


How many electrons does mg atom lose to form a mg cation?

A magnesium (Mg) atom loses two electrons to form a magnesium cation (Mg²⁺). This occurs because magnesium has two electrons in its outermost shell, and it tends to lose these electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to that of the nearest noble gas, neon. As a result, Mg²⁺ has a positive charge of +2.

How many valence electrons does atom Mg 26 in the ground state have?

Atom Mg-26 in the ground state has 2 valence electrons. Magnesium (Mg) has an atomic number of 12, so it has 12 electrons in total. In the ground state, the electron configuration is [Ne] 3s2, which means it has 2 electrons in the outermost shell (valence electrons).


How many electrons are there in Mg2?

Any atom of magnesium will have 12 protons.Neutral atoms of Mg-24 will have 12 neutrons and 12 electrons. Mg-25 has 13 neutrons and Mg-26 has 14 neutrons. A magnesium ion will have either 10 or 11 electrons.


How many electrons are in the valence shell for Mg?

Mg or Magnesium has 2 electrons in its Valence shell. If you have the right Periodic Table it should have numbers 1A, 2A,... 3B, ect listed above each column. These numbers represent the number of Electrons in the valence shell of all the elements in that Column.
