There are 10 electrons in an Mg2+ ion.
Mg 2.8.2 likes to lose 2 electrons to become Mg 2.8, when it loses them it becomes an Mg 2+ ion.
Magnesium has five unpaired electrons and is therefor paramagnetic
CO3++ Ion has 20electrons.
Neither. Mg+2 is an ion.
The electron configuration for Mg2+ is 1s22p22p6.
The Ca2+ ion is larger than the Mg2+ ion. The ionic radii are: 86pm for the Mg2+ and 114pm for the Ca2+. Besides the fact that the Ca2+ has more electrons this can be explained by the principle of electron shielding. Electron shielding is when lower level electrons block the EFC(effective nuclear charge) from effecting the valence electrons of an ion. Ca2+has more electrons than Mg2+ so more electron shielding occurs.

Magnesium, ion (Mg2+)
The charge on a magnesium ion with 10 electrons (Mg2+) is +2.
Magnesium has five unpaired electrons and is therefor paramagnetic
Mg2+ cation
Mg has 12 protons, 12 electrons and 12 neutrons.Mg^2+ ion has 12 protons, 10 electrons and 12 neutrons. The number of protons and neutrons remains the same, but since the ion now has a 2+ charge, it has lost 2 electrons.
The H+ ion has no electrons.
Mg2+ It loses two electrons when it's ionized
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?
CO3++ Ion has 20electrons.
Neither. Mg+2 is an ion.
