Any atom of magnesium will have 12 protons.
Neutral atoms of Mg-24 will have 12 neutrons and 12 electrons. Mg-25 has 13 neutrons and Mg-26 has 14 neutrons. A magnesium ion will have either 10 or 11 electrons.
Clay consists of many different elements, and it is therefore impossible to tell how many electrons it has.
phosphorus will accept 3 electrons or share 3 electrons
Boron has 3 valence electrons.
Hydrogen shares its electrons to complete the octate so it gains 1 electrons. it can also its electrons.
35 protons, 36 electrons
An Mg2+ ion has lost two electrons, resulting in a total of 10 electrons. Magnesium normally has 12 electrons but when it forms a 2+ ion, it loses two electrons.
There are 10 electrons in Mg2+ because the atomic number of magnesium is 12, which means it normally has 12 electrons. When it forms a 2+ ion, it loses 2 electrons, leaving 10 electrons in the Mg2+ ion.

Magnesium has five unpaired electrons and is therefor paramagnetic
Two, like every other atom in periodic table column 2 (extended form).
The Magnesium atom will lose 2 of its electrons to become a Magnesium ion with 10 electrons. (Mg2+) How many electrons does a magnesium ion have? How many electrons does a fluoride ion have? How many electrons does a fluoride ion have?
Magnesium's atomic number is 12. Thus, neutral magnesium would have 12 electrons. Mg2+ therefore has 2 less electrons, or 10.
Mg 2.8.2 likes to lose 2 electrons to become Mg 2.8, when it loses them it becomes an Mg 2+ ion.
An Mg2+ ion is a magnesium ion that has a charge of +2, meaning it has lost 2 electrons. The number of neutrons in an Mg2+ ion is the same as in a regular magnesium atom, which is 12 neutrons.
Oxidation is a loss of electrons. Mg2+ has lost two electrons from it's elemental state, and is thus said to be oxidised.
Mg2+ has 10 electrons. Neon also has 10 electrons. This means Mg2+ and Ne are isoelectronic (Mg doesn't migrate to Ne, the terminology is isoelectronic meaning having the same number of electrons)
