Natural isotopes of magnesium have 12, 13 and 14 neutrons.
The isotopes of magnesium differ in their number of neutrons. Magnesium has three stable isotopes: magnesium-24, magnesium-25, and magnesium-26, with varying numbers of neutrons in their nucleus.
A stable magnesium atom has 12, 13 or 14 neutrons. The atom with 12 neutrons is the most common one.
A magnesium atom typically has 12 neutrons. Magnesium has an atomic number of 12, indicating it has 12 protons which is equal to its number of electrons in a neutral atom. The number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass of magnesium, which is approximately 24.305 amu.

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 :)
All neutrons have a negative charge. That is the reason they are called neutrons.
The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom. Since magnesium has 12 protons, a magnesium atom with 14 neutrons would have a mass number of 26 (12 protons + 14 neutrons = 26 mass number).
Atomic # : 12 Mass Number : 24 # of Protons : 12 #of Neutrons : 12 # of Electrons : 12
An Mg2+ ion is a magnesium ion that has a charge of +2, meaning it has lost 2 electrons. The number of neutrons in an Mg2+ ion is the same as in a regular magnesium atom, which is 12 neutrons.
In an atom protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus.
The most common isotope of magnesium is 24Mg or Magnesium-24 This means it has 12 protons and 12 neutrons. . Its atomic symbol is [24/12]Mg However, itf it had only 10 neutrons its symbol would be [22/12]Mg
