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 does the size of a magnesium ion with a 2 positive charge compare with that of a sodium ion with a single positive charge?
A magnesium ion will be smaller because there will be a greater Zeff on the electrons in the magnesium ion due to a greater number of protons in the nucleus.
How many protons does neutral magnesium have?
Magnesium always has 12 protons (both in neutral form and in ion form).
How many protons nucleus have?
It depends on what atom it is, the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom or ion defines what type of atom it is.
How many protons do Na plus have?
Any neutral atom or ion of sodium always has 11 protons in its nucleus.
What element has 12 protons and 10 neutrons?
Any atom, ion, or isotope with 12 protons is going to be magnesium. Only the number of protons in the nucleus will determine the element. But with the information about the number of neutrons, the specific isotope can also be determined - 22Mg.

How many protons does neutral magnesium have?
Magnesium always has 12 protons (both in neutral form and in ion form).
How many protons does the magnesium cation have?
The periodic table states that the atomic number of magnesium is 12. A magnesium atom would thus have 12 protons in its nucleus; any atom that has 12 protons must be a magnesium atom. Atomic number = number of protons
How many protons nucleus have?
It depends on what atom it is, the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom or ion defines what type of atom it is.
The nucleus of an atom contains 12 protons and 12 neutrons while the necleus of another atom contains 12 protons and 16 neutrons what are the atoms?
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 :)
An ion that has three more protons in the nucleus than there are electrons outside the nucleus will have a charge of?
An ion that has three more protons in the nucleus than there are electrons outside the nucleus will have a charge of +3.
When a nucleus has too many protons it can absorb an electron and create .?
A nucleus with too many protons is just a positive ion. It can absorb an electron to create the original atom.
How many protons do Na plus have?
Any neutral atom or ion of sodium always has 11 protons in its nucleus.

Does a Mg2 plus ion have two more protons than an atom of Mg?
Absolutely not. Magnesium is magnesium, whether it's an ion or not. So it must have 12 protons. The number of electrons, however, is different. Neutral (non-ionic) magnesium has 12 electrons; the magnesium ion (Mg+2) has 10 electrons, which means it is isoelectronic with neon.
How many protons does carbon ion have?
how many protons does the carbonate ion have?
What is the charge on a magnesium ion that has 10 electrons?
Magnesium has 12 protons, so if there are only 10 electrons, then it will have a +2 charge.
