What is the number of electrons that were lost gained to form Mg2 plus?
Mg 2.8.2 likes to lose 2 electrons to become Mg 2.8, when it loses them it becomes an Mg 2+ ion.
When magnesium loses two electrons it's charge is?
This is the oxidation reaction of Magnesium, loosing two (negatively charged) electrons (2e-):Mg --> Mg2+ + 2e-So as you'll see Mg is 2+ charged
What is the charge of Mg?
Mg or the element magnesium has only one possible charge of +2. Just a hint but all elements in group 2 have a charge of +2 ie. Be, Ca, Sr...
Which is the correct electron configuration for the ground state of a magnesium ion Mg2?
The electron configuration for Mg2+ is 1s22p22p6.
Is Mg and O an ionic bond?
Yes, Mg and O form an ionic bond. Magnesium (Mg) typically loses 2 electrons to become Mg^2+ cation, while oxygen (O) gains 2 electrons to become O^2- anion, resulting in the formation of an ionic bond between them.
What change in electron structure occur when Mg atom become a Mg ion?
Magnesium is a group 2A element, and has 2 valence electrons. Thus, for it to become an ion (Mg^2+) is loses those 2 valence electrons.

What happens when magnesium forms it's ion?
it loses 2 electrons
What is Lewis formula for MgO?
the Lewis formula for MgO is Mg2+[O]2- Which mean Mg loses 2 electrons and O gains 2 electrons to be stable.
What is the charge of Mg?
Mg or the element magnesium has only one possible charge of +2. Just a hint but all elements in group 2 have a charge of +2 ie. Be, Ca, Sr...
What is the difference between Mg and Mg-2?
Mg is the symbol for the element magnesium and could be used to represent a neutral atom of magnesium. Mg2- does not occur, but Mg2+ does, and is the symbol of a magnesium ion, which is a magnesium atom that has lost two electrons.
What happens to an atom of magnesium (Mg) when it forms an ionic bond in which it has the same electron configuration as the noble gas neon?
For Mg to acquire the same electron configuration as Neon, it must lose 2 of its valence electrons. It thus obtains a 2+ charge. The 2 electrons that it loses can go to an accepting atom, such as O, S, Cl, etc. to form an ionic bond, where the accepting atom has a negative charge.
Which is the correct electron configuration for the ground state of a magnesium ion Mg2?
The electron configuration for Mg2+ is 1s22p22p6.
Is Mg and O an ionic bond?
Yes, Mg and O form an ionic bond. Magnesium (Mg) typically loses 2 electrons to become Mg^2+ cation, while oxygen (O) gains 2 electrons to become O^2- anion, resulting in the formation of an ionic bond between them.
What is the number of proton and electrons of magnesium ion?
Cl-1 has 17 protons and 18 electrons
What oxidation number does an atom have if it loses two electrons when bonding?
+2 for example, Be, Mg, Ca, Sr or any other group 2 element in a compound with a group 6 element
