The atomic number of Mg (and not written as mg) is 12. So there are 12 protons and 12 electrons
Note:
Mg is the symbol for the element magnesium
mg generally stands for milli grams
The Mg2 plus cation has 10 electrons.
Mg has 2 valence electrons.

It should loose 2 electrons to become a noble gas.
Magnesium (Mg) has 12 electrons. To attain a noble gas configuration, Mg would need to lose 2 electrons to have the same electron configuration as a noble gas (like neon). This would result in Mg forming a +2 ion.
The ion Mg(2+) has 12 protons, 10 electrons and 12, 13 0r 14 neutrons depending on the isotope.
Magnesium's atomic number is 12. Thus, neutral magnesium would have 12 electrons. Mg2+ therefore has 2 less electrons, or 10.
The Mg2 plus cation has 10 electrons.
The oxidation state of Mg2+ is +2. Magnesium typically forms cations with a +2 charge by losing 2 electrons.
Mg has 2 valence 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.
Mg or Magnesium has 2 electrons in its Valence shell. If you have the right Periodic Table it should have numbers 1A, 2A,... 3B, ect listed above each column. These numbers represent the number of Electrons in the valence shell of all the elements in that Column.
Atom Mg-26 in the ground state has 2 valence electrons. Magnesium (Mg) has an atomic number of 12, so it has 12 electrons in total. In the ground state, the electron configuration is [Ne] 3s2, which means it has 2 electrons in the outermost shell (valence electrons).
Two, like every other atom in Periodic Table column 2 (extended form).
Magnesium (Mg) has 2 valence electrons because it is in group 2 of the periodic table. Group 2 elements have 2 electrons in their outermost shell.
