Number of neutrons = Atomic weight - Atomic number (number of prtons)
The atomic number of magnesium is 12; the standard atomic weight is circa 24,3.
But magnesium has many isotopes (three are natural) and the number of neutrons is variable in the isotopes - from 7 to 28.
The most common natural isotope, 24Mg, has 12 neutrons.
What else can I help you with?
In a magnesium atom where are the protons and neutrons?
In an atom protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus.
What charge are neutrons in the magnesium atom?
All neutrons have a negative charge. That is the reason they are called neutrons.
How many protons are there in the nucleus of a magnesium ion?
Any atom of magnesium will have 12 protons.Neutral atoms of Mg-24 will have 12 neutrons and 12 electrons. Mg-25 has 13 neutrons and Mg-26 has 14 neutrons. A magnesium ion will have either 10 or 11 electrons.
How many nuetrons are in an atom of magnesium?
there are 12 nuetrons in an atom of magnesium
How many neutrons does a stable atom of Zn have?
A stable atom of Zinc (Zn) typically has 34 neutrons.
How many number neutrons magnesium?
A stable magnesium atom has 12, 13 or 14 neutrons. The atom with 12 neutrons is the most common one.
In a magnesium atom where are the protons and neutrons?
In an atom protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus.
How many neutrons does an mg2 ion have?
An Mg2+ ion is a magnesium ion that has a charge of +2, meaning it has lost 2 electrons. The number of neutrons in an Mg2+ ion is the same as in a regular magnesium atom, which is 12 neutrons.
What charge are neutrons in the magnesium atom?
All neutrons have a negative charge. That is the reason they are called neutrons.
What is the mass number of a magnesium atom with 14 neutrons?
The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom. Since magnesium has 12 protons, a magnesium atom with 14 neutrons would have a mass number of 26 (12 protons + 14 neutrons = 26 mass number).
How many isotope of magnesium differ from normal atom?
All the isotopes have a different number of neutrons in the nucleus.
How many protons are there in the nucleus of a magnesium ion?
Any atom of magnesium will have 12 protons.Neutral atoms of Mg-24 will have 12 neutrons and 12 electrons. Mg-25 has 13 neutrons and Mg-26 has 14 neutrons. A magnesium ion will have either 10 or 11 electrons.

What are the other sub atomic particles which make up the magnesium atom besides the protons and electrons?
Neutrons are the other subatomic particles that make up the magnesium atom. Magnesium has 12 protons, 12 electrons, and typically 12 neutrons in its nucleus, giving it an atomic number of 12.
How many neutrons does magnesium have in the periodic table?
12 neutrons
How many neutrons are in the isotope magnesium-25?
13 neutrons
