Mg( magnesium is an ATOM.
However, Mg^(2+) is an ION ( cation).
NB When a neutrally charged an element is an ATOM. When its gains or loses electrons it becomes an ION.

A Mg atom differs from a Mg2 plus ion in that the Mg atom has?
The Mg atom has more electron than the Mg+2 ion.
How many chloride ions are present in a formula unit of magnesium chloride given the charge on a mg ion is 2 plus?
Chloride ions have a charge of 1-. Since the charge on an Mg ion is 2+, the formula unit of Magnesium Chloride is MgCl2. There are 2 chloride ions for each Mg ion.
What is the total number of electrons in a Mg 2 ion?
3
Symbol and charge for magnesium?
It depends if it the ion of magnesium, if it is the ion, then it is positive. If not, then it is neutral.
Is Mg(OH)2 an ionic compound?
YES!!! Mg(OH)2 = Mg^(2+) + 2(OH)^- The magnesium ion and ther hyroxide ions , combine ionically. However, within the hydroxide ion the oxygen and hydrogen combine covalently.
