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 neutral atom is isoelectronic with each what ions F Ca2 P3 K Pb2?
An atom is isoelectronic with another if they have the same number of electrons. The neutral atom that is isoelectronic with F (9 electrons) is Ne (neon). For Ca²⁺ (20 electrons), the isoelectronic atom is Ar (argon). P³⁻ (18 electrons) is isoelectronic with Ar as well, while K⁺ (18 electrons) is also isoelectronic with Ar. Pb²⁺ (78 electrons) is isoelectronic with the neutral atom Xe (xenon).
Which one has more electrons neon-10 or neon-12?
Neon-10 has more electrons because neon-10 has 10 electrons, while neon-12 has 10 electrons. The number after the element name indicates the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, not the number of electrons.
What noble gas has same electron arrangement as the oxide ion?
Neon, if you are talking about an oxygen ion.
Can different elements have the same amount of electrons?
Yes, different elements can have the same number of electrons. Elements with the same number of electrons are known as isoelectronic species. For example, both neon (Ne) and fluorine with a fluoride ion (F-) have 10 electrons.
Does a neon-22 atom have 2 more electrons than a neon-20 atom?
No, a neon-22 atom has the same number of electrons as a neon-20 atom, which is 10 electrons. The difference between neon-22 and neon-20 lies in their number of neutrons, with neon-22 having 12 neutrons and neon-20 having 10 neutrons.
How magnesium atom with 10 electrons migrates to neon?
Mg2+ has 10 electrons. Neon also has 10 electrons. This means Mg2+ and Ne are isoelectronic (Mg doesn't migrate to Ne, the terminology is isoelectronic meaning having the same number of electrons)
What is the general atomic number of neon?
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. The number of protons in an atom is what gives the atom its elemental identity. The number of neutrons can change resulting in different isotopes of the same element. The number of electrons can change, resulting in different valence states of the same element. If the number of protons changes, then an atom of neon is no longer neon. So the atomic number of neon is always 10, because neon always has 10 protons.
Does altering the number of protons in the nucleus change the number of electrons?
Only if electrical neutrality is required. A sodium cation, for example, has the same number of electrons as a neon atom.
How many electrons will Magnesium lose to have the same electron configuration has Neon?
Magnesium will lose 2 electrons to have the same electron configuration as Neon. Neon has a full valence shell with 8 electrons, and Magnesium has 2 valence electrons. By losing 2 electrons, Magnesium can achieve a full valence shell and the same electron configuration as Neon.
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.

Neon-10 has more electrons because neon-10 has 10 electrons, while neon-12 has 10 electrons. The number after the element name indicates the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, not the number of electrons.
Is Al3 same as neon in electron config?
When aluminum (Al, #13) reacts, it loses its three valence electrons to achieve the same electron configuration as neon (Ne, #10.) That configuration is 1s22s22p6. So yes, Al+3 has the same configuration as neon.
How is a sodium ion and a neon atom similar?
A sodium ion would have a charge on it, such as a positive charge, a cation, or a negative charge, an anion. Take your charge to be Na+1. This means that sodium is missing one electron, thus having one more proton giving it a positive charge. Na normally has 11 electrons, but this plus one knocks it down to 10. Neon at a neutral charge has 10 electrons. So, a sodium ion and neon atom have the same number of electrons (but only if the Na ion is +1 charge).
What is an atom called when you have the same numbers of protons as electrons?
On average, in any atom, you will have the same number of electrons and protons.
What noble gas has same electron arrangement as the oxide ion?
Neon, if you are talking about an oxygen ion.
The number of electrons in an atom of iodine?
The neutral iodine atom contain the same number of electrons as protons - 53.
