8 electrons
No. Argon has eight electrons in its outer shell and magnesium has two electrons in its outer shell.
A neutral atom of an element will have the same number of electrons as protons (atomic number). For example, the element magnesium has the atomic number 12, which means that a neutral magnesium atom will have 12 protons and 12 electrons.
The atomic number of magnesium is 12. The cation loses two electrons for 10.
3 levels (shells) which contain 2,8,2 electrons.
The are two electrons in the 3s orbital of magnesium (Mg.)
The 2 electrons from 3s orbital.
The most common magnesium ion is Mg2+. It loses 2 electrons. By losing 2 electrons, Mg then has no electrons in the 3s energy level, drastically reducing the energy of the atom.
Singl atom has 12 electrons. Oxidation number of it is +2.
12 electrons in total as the atomic number of magnesium is 12
Valency is not a word... but if you want to know the number of valence electrons that Magnesium has, it is 2. Magnesium's atomic number is 12.
Magnesium atoms have 12 electrons and the shell structure is 2.8. 2. The ground state electron configuration of ground state gaseous neutral magnesium is [Ne]. 3s2 and the term symbol is 1S0.

Magnesium, Mg, atom number 12, 12 protons and 12 electrons.
Magnesium has a total of 12 electrons. The electron configuration would be 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2. Therefore, 2 electrons in it's outer shell.
8 electrons
12, the same as the number of protons indicated by magnesium having an atomic number of 12.
