it loses 2 electrons
Magnesium forms a 2+ ion by giving away its two outermost electrons.
MgI2 is magnesium iodide. Magnesium is divalent, it forms the Mg2+ ion, iodine forms the I- ion.
Mg2+
The symbol for the magnesium ion formed when magnesium metal reacts with sulfur is Mg^2+.
When a magnesium ion loses an electron, it forms a magnesium ion with a 2+ charge. This occurs because magnesium typically has 2 electrons in its outer shell, and losing one electron leaves it with a full outer shell, resulting in greater stability.
