Magnesium is not a noble metal. Magnesium is highly reactive, a noble metal is the exact opposite.
Sodium and magnesium form positive ions because they lose electrons in order to have a filled valence shell, like a noble gas. A sodium atom loses one electron so that its ion has a 1+ charge and the noble gas configuration of neon. A magnesium atom loses two electrons so that its ion has a charge of 2+ and the noble gas configuration of neon.
It might be metals or nonmetals in the bulb
argon is a noble gas
study island answer- It gives up two electrons
Magnesium element has no relation with noble gas. But Mg2+ ions and noble gas neon are isoelectronic.
The noble gas configuration of magnesium is [Ne]3s2.
[Ne]3s2

The noble gas notation of magnesium is [Ne] 3s2. This shows that the third energy level is the highest occupied energy level and magnesium is in period 3 of the periodic table. Also there are two valence electrons for magnesium in the s orbital.
Magnesium has an atomic number of 12, which means it has 12 electrons. To achieve a noble gas configuration, magnesium would need to lose both of its valence electrons. This can be achieved through chemical reactions, where magnesium can form ionic compounds by transferring its electrons to other elements, such as oxygen or chlorine.
