the best answer is 12
24, it's the number of protons and neutrons, i.e. the number of sub-atomic particles in the nucleus.
A stable magnesium atom has 12, 13 or 14 neutrons. The atom with 12 neutrons is the most common one.
There are 77 Neutrons in the nucleus of one atom of Xenon
Aluminium is the 13th element, with an atomic number (of protons in the nucleus) of 13 and a mass number of 27 (number or neutrons + protons).
Atoms do not have a radius. A helium atom has a nucleus composed of at least two protons and maybe one or two neutrons. A magnesium atom nucleus (and every other atom on the periodic table other than hydrogen) is BIGGER than a helium nucleus. So if you look at it that way...magnesium is larger than helium
In an atom protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus.
All the isotopes have a different number of neutrons in the nucleus.
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 protrons and neutrons does silicon have in the nucleus?
Magnesium has 12 protons and 12 neutrons in its nucleus. The atomic mass is the number of protons and the number on neutrons added together, so 12 + 12 + 24.
12 neutrons
13 neutrons
There are 6 neutrons in a carbon nucleus.
I believe it is two isotopes of an element. Because an isotope is the amount of protons. with a different number of neutrons in the nucleus. hopefully this will help :)
A stable magnesium atom has 12, 13 or 14 neutrons. The atom with 12 neutrons is the most common one.
Number of neutrons = Atomic weight - Atomic number (number of prtons) The atomic number of magnesium is 12; the standard atomic weight is circa 24,3. But magnesium has many isotopes (three are natural) and the number of neutrons is variable in the isotopes - from 7 to 28. The most common natural isotope, 24Mg, has 12 neutrons.
