80 protons and 121 neutrons
It has 26 protons.
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.
Metals always lose electrons.
The number of protons in an atom is the same as the atomic number of the element of which the atom is an example.
The atomic number is the number of protons in an element. Ex: Molybdenum's A.N. is 42. so it has 42 protons.
It has 26 protons.

To find the amount of protons in an atom, you simply look at the atomic number. For example, if the question was, "how many protons are in an atom of carbon", you look at the periodic table and see that carbon is the atomic number six, therefore your answer would be six.
Helium is a non metal element. There are 2 electrons in a single atom.
Mass number = 24 = 12 protons, 12 neutrons

Chlorine
Number of protons = Number of electrons = 18Number of neutrons:22 (stable and commonest),20 (stable but less common),18, 19, 21, 23 or 24 (unstable).

H3O+ (hydronium ion) is NOT the strongest acid: actually all -what we normally call- 'strong' acids (like HCl, HI, HNO3 etc. with Ka>>1.0) are stronger than H3O+ (Ka=1.0)E.g.:HCl + H2O => H3O++ Cl- of which Ka = [H3O+].[Cl-] / [HCl] >>1, telling us this reaction is 'completed' to the right (>>) side, thus H3O+ does not donate its prtons 'backward' to form HCl.
