All neutrons have a negative charge. That is the reason they are called neutrons.
-1
In an atom protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus.
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.
The neutral atom of magnesium has no electrical charge; the ion is bivalent.
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.
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.
A stable magnesium atom has 12, 13 or 14 neutrons. The atom with 12 neutrons is the most common one.

Neutrons are "neutral;" they have no charge.
No. Neutrons have no charge. They are neutral ... the main reason they're called NEUtrons.The total charge on an atom is not affected by the number of neutrons in its nucleus.

The neutral atom of magnesium has no electrical charge; the ion is bivalent.
The neutrons - in the nucleus of the atom.
It depends on the amount of electrons in the outer shells. The neutrons do not affect the charge of an atom as they are already neutron. There is only a charge if there is a difference in protons and electrons, not protons and neutrons.
