What happens when a magnesium atom loses an electron in outer energy shell?
It becomes a positive ion. However, energetically it is more favorable for magnesium to lose two electrons. It still becomes a positively charged cation.
What is the shell of the highest energy electron in uranium?
The seventh electron shell.
Magnesium has an atomic number 12 and an atomic mass number 24 how many electrons are in its third energy shell?
Magnesium has 12 protons and electrons and its electronic configuration is 2.8.2, therefor it has 2 electrons in its 3rd energy level or elcectron outer shell
Why is the ionization energy needed to remove the first two electrons from Magnesium atoms relatively low?
magnesium has a 2 valence electrons. because the third electron is not a valence electron, or in the outer shell, much more energy would be needed to remove it
Is energy absorbed when an electron moves to a closer shell?
No. Energy is emitted when an electron moves to a closer shell (closer to the nucleus).
What happens when a magnesium atom loses an election in its outer energy shell?
After losing an electron in its outer shell a magnesium atom would become a CATION, a positively-charged ion. However, it is very rare for magnesium to only lose one electron; usually it will lose two and become a cation with a 2+ charge.
