Magnesium always has 12 protons (both in neutral form and in ion form).
This would be magnesium, based on the number of protons. Since the protons is equal to the number of electrons it is a neutral atom. Given the number of protons in the atom, the isotope would be magnesium-26.
A neutral atom of an element will have the same number of electrons as protons (atomic number). For example, the element magnesium has the atomic number 12, which means that a neutral magnesium atom will have 12 protons and 12 electrons.
This is about magnesium element. Mg atom contains 12 protons.
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
12 , 12 , 12
there are 12 neutrons in magnesium it is neutral
2 electrons orbit in the outer shell. If its a neutral atom, then it will have the same number of electrons as protons. Magnesium has 12 protons and 12 electrons.
12; and that would be a magnesium atom.
2 electrons orbit in the outer shell. If its a neutral atom, then it will have the same number of electrons as protons. Magnesium has 12 protons and 12 electrons.
12, the same as the number of protons indicated by magnesium having an atomic number of 12.
magnesium has 12 protons
there are 12 protons in an atom of magnesium:-)
Magnesium, Mg, atom number 12, 12 protons and 12 electrons.

Magnesium has 12 protons. Bear in mind that ionization has no effect on the number of protons, so the "2 plus" is unnecessary. Magnesium always has 12 protons, that is the definition of magnesium.
