The most common isotope of magnesium is 24Mg or Magnesium-24
This means it has 12 protons and 12 neutrons. .
Its atomic symbol is [24/12]Mg
However, itf it had only 10 neutrons its symbol would be [22/12]Mg

How many neutrons does magnesium have?
Magnesium, an element with 12 protons, does not have a fixed number of neutrons. It exists as many isotopes (differing versions of the same element with the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons), three of which are Mg-24, Mg-25, and Mg-26. [Atomic symbol-Atomic mass] To find the number of neutrons, take the atomic number from the atomic mass: for example, 26 - 12 = 14. This means Mg-26 has 14 neutrons. However, to answer your question, the most common isotope of Magnesium is Mg-24. This is the case for most elements up to and including atomic number 20; the number of neutrons equals the number of protons. So; the most common isotope of Magnesium, Mg-24, with a relative abundance of about 79%, has 24 - 12 = 12 neutrons.
What element has 12 electrons 12 protons and 14 neutrons?
This would be magnesium, based on the number of protons. Since the protons is equal to the number of electrons it is a neutral atom. Given the number of protons in the atom, the isotope would be magnesium-26.
How many atoms are in compound Mg(NO3)2?
1 Magnesium and 2 Fluoride
Which symbol represents an atom with 13 protons 17 neutrons and 12 electrons?
There is an error in the question - this is not an element as it would have an equal number of protons and electrons. 13 protons means it is Aluminum -12 electrons would mean it was Aluminum with one positive charge - which just does not happen. 17 neutrons would mean it is a heavy isotope of Aluminum Al30 - question needs to be rechecked and corrected
In lithium atoms would all atoms be identical in terms of electrons neutrons and protons?
No. They will all have the same number of protons and electrons, but the number of neutrons will vary. This results in isotopes of lithium.
What would 345 magnesium atoms weigh?
345 magnesium atoms weigh 1,4.10e-23 g.
How many magnesium atoms would be needed to react with one bromine molecule?
Two magnesium atoms.

Would there be any atoms left over after 10 Mg atoms and 10 Cl atoms combined?
You would wind up with 5 moles of Magnesium Chloride MgCl2 and 5 atoms of Magnesium just chilling around. Depending on where they bumped into each other, the excess Magnesium might form Magnesium Hydroxide or just bind to itself.

Does neutrons have the same amount atoms as mercury?
you would have to check out the density in order to think in neutrons so yes
Why do all atoms of an element have the same number of neutrons?
They do not. All atoms of an element have the same number of protons otherwise they would not be that element. Taking carbon as an example, most carbon has 6 neutrons and is known as Carbon-12. There are traces of Carbon-13 with 7 neutrons and even traces of Carbon-14 with 8 neutrons present. So all the atoms in a lump of carbon would not have the same number of neutrons.
Are isotopes are atoms of an element that differ in there number of neutrons?
Yes, isotopes of the same element would have differed numbers of neutrons.
What is the name of the center part of the atoms where protons and neutrons exist?
That would be the nucleus.
