It forms a cation (a positive ion)
positive with a +2 charge.
Magnesium loses two electrons.
They form an Ionic compound.
The charge on a magnesium ion is +2. This indicates that the two valence electrons present in a magnesium atom have been donated to form one or two anions of some other element.
the symbol for the magnesium ion is Mg2+
Because the element magnesium is in the Group II category, it is has two electrons in its outer shell, donating them to leave it with a 2+ charge. Therefore, when it is in the ionized form, it is Mg2+
