Magnesium has 3 electron shells.
8 electrons
Magnesium has three electron shells. The electron configuration is 2,8,2
Rather than to give a simple number as answer, I suggest to look up Magnesium on wikipedia, where you will even find a picture with the electron configuration. (And this method can be applied to answer the same question for any other element.)
As you go down the horizontal rows, the energy levels increase.
The element Magnesium has two charges. The element Magnesium has two charges.
There are no difference in the number of shells in magnesium and sulphur. Both elements contain 3 shells. However, the total number of electrons in the shells are different. Magnesium has 12 electrons in its shells whereas sulphur has 16 electrons in its shell. In addition, the electrons in the valence shell (outermost shell) are also different. Magnesium has 2 electrons in its valence shell whereas sulphur has 6 electrons in its valence shell.
2 electrons. Magnesium has 12 total, in 3 shells, 2,8,2There are two electrons in magnesium's third energy level.
Down a group, the number of energy levels (or shells) increases.
Magnesium has 3 electron shells. The electron configuration is : 2,8,1
