How many valence electrons does a neutral magnesium atom have?
12, the same as the number of protons indicated by magnesium having an atomic number of 12.
What would be more reactive magnesium or barium?
Type your answer here... Potassium (K)
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 solution will not react with magnesium?
The solutions having organic non polar solvents as Benzene, Hexane, carbon tetra chloride do not react with Magnesium.
Can i say that elements of the same atoms having same atomic number but different atomic mass as isotopes?
Yes, you may say that.
Having little size compared to other things of the same kind?
smaller
How many valence electrons does a neutral magnesium atom have?
12, the same as the number of protons indicated by magnesium having an atomic number of 12.
How many electrons and nuetrons are in magnesium?
Magnesium's atomic number is 12. Thus, to be electrically neutral, it must have 12 protons and 12 electrons. 24Mg is magnesium's most common isotope having 24 - 12 = 12 neutrons.
What would be more reactive magnesium or barium?
Type your answer here... Potassium (K)
Which has more protons aluminum or magnesium?
Magnisium has a different atomic mass to sodium plus they are in 2 separate periods, but im not sure about having more protons :)
Is a sulfur atom bigger than an phosphorous atom?
The neutral atom is bigger. The ion would be smaller because in order for magnesium to become a positively charged ion, it has to give up its valence electrons, which results in the removal of the outermost energy level. So instead of having three energy levels, the ion now has only two.
What disadvantages is reduced when magnesium is retained in magnesium alloys?
the disadvantage of having magnesium alloys is because they are very sensitive and can be burned and can be cut with a knife

What is meant by atomic?
"Atomic" is an adjective meaning "having to do with an atom."
What solution will not react with magnesium?
The solutions having organic non polar solvents as Benzene, Hexane, carbon tetra chloride do not react with Magnesium.
Atoms having the same atomic number but different atomic masses?
Isotopes
What do you get if you plus the atomic number and the atomic mass?
a number having no physical meaning.
