How many protons are there in the nucleus of a magnesium ion?

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.


The most stable isotope of an atom with 12 protons probably has neutrons?

Mass of protons + Mass of neutrons + mass or electrons - Binding energy of the atom. Do not forget to subtract the binding energy. If you teacher never mentioned this, then he/she is wrong. You always have to subtract the binding energy to find the real mass.


What element has 12 electrons and 12 protons and 14 neutrons?

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.


What is the mass number of a magnesium atom with 14 neutrons?

The mass number is the number of protons plus neutrons. Magnesium is element number 12, so it has 12 protons. Its mass number with 14 neutrons is 12 + 14 which is 26.

How many neutrons and protons are in Magnesium 26?

Manesium 24 has 12 electrons, protons and neutrons.


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 :)
