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.
12 neutrons
13 neutrons
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).
Aluminum has more neutrons than magnesium. The atomic number of aluminum is 13, which means it has 13 protons and typically 14 neutrons (in its most common isotope, aluminum-27). In contrast, magnesium has an atomic number of 12, with 12 protons and typically 12 neutrons (in its most common isotope, magnesium-24). Thus, aluminum has one more neutron than magnesium.

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.
