Magnesium's atomic number is 12. Thus, neutral magnesium would have 12 electrons. Mg2+ therefore has 2 less electrons, or 10.
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.
Mg 2.8.2 likes to lose 2 electrons to become Mg 2.8, when it loses them it becomes an Mg 2+ ion.
Oxidation is a loss of electrons. Mg2+ has lost two electrons from it's elemental state, and is thus said to be oxidised.
Mg2+ acts as a Lewis acid because it can accept a pair of electrons to form coordination complexes. In this capacity, Mg2+ does not donate electrons; rather, it accepts electron pairs from other molecules or ions.
There are 1.20 equivalents in 0.60 mole of Mg2+, since Mg2+ has a charge of 2+.

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.
The Mg2 plus cation has 10 electrons.
Magnesium that has lost 2 electrons.
Two, like every other atom in periodic table column 2 (extended form).
Mg 2.8.2 likes to lose 2 electrons to become Mg 2.8, when it loses them it becomes an Mg 2+ ion.

The number of protons is 12, the number of electrons is 10, the number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
