How many protons does neutral magnesium have?
Magnesium always has 12 protons (both in neutral form and in ion form).
How does the size of a magnesium ion with a 2 positive charge compare with that of a sodium ion with a single positive charge?
The magnesium ion (Mg2+) is smaller than the sodium ion (Na+) because as atoms lose electrons and become positively charged ions, they lose electron shells, making them smaller. The higher charge of the magnesium ion also pulls the electrons closer to the nucleus, further reducing its size compared to the sodium ion.
How many protons do Na plus have?
Any neutral atom or ion of sodium always has 11 protons in its nucleus.
How many protons nucleus have?
It depends on what atom it is, the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom or ion defines what type of atom it is.
How many protons electrons in magnesium?
12 protons, 12 electronsMass number - 12 = protons24 - 12 = 12 neutrons in a neutral element.Look at the Periodic Table and coorespond the numbers I gave. Look at element 12 = Magnesium.The magnesium ion [Ne]2s22p6 is the electronic configuration of the noble gas closest to it in the PT (Ne = Neon). Mg 1s22s22p63s2 and Ne 1s22s22p6.
How many protons does the magnesium cation have?
The periodic table states that the atomic number of magnesium is 12. A magnesium atom would thus have 12 protons in its nucleus; any atom that has 12 protons must be a magnesium atom. Atomic number = number of protons

The nucleus of an atom contains 12 protons and 12 neutrons while the necleus of another atom contains 12 protons and 16 neutrons what are the atoms?
I believe it is two isotopes of an element. Because an isotope is the amount of protons. with a different number of neutrons in the nucleus. hopefully this will help :)
How many protons do Na plus have?
Any neutral atom or ion of sodium always has 11 protons in its nucleus.
An ion that has three more protons in the nucleus than there are electrons outside the nucleus will have a charge of?
An ion that has three more protons in the nucleus than there are electrons outside the nucleus will have a charge of +3.
O2- has how many protons?
The thing that separates one element from the other is how many protons the nucleus has. It doesn't matter what the superscript is. Therefore O2- will have 8 protons but 10 electrons instead of 8.
Does a Mg2 plus ion have two more protons than an atom of Mg?
Absolutely not. Magnesium is magnesium, whether it's an ion or not. So it must have 12 protons. The number of electrons, however, is different. Neutral (non-ionic) magnesium has 12 electrons; the magnesium ion (Mg+2) has 10 electrons, which means it is isoelectronic with neon.
How many protons nucleus have?
It depends on what atom it is, the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom or ion defines what type of atom it is.
How many protons does carbon ion have?
how many protons does the carbonate ion have?
How many protons and electrons in gold 3 ion?
Gold has 79 protons in its nucleus in a neutral state. The 3+ ion carries a charge of +3, therefore it has lost three electrons. This means the gold 3+ ion has 79 protons and 76 electrons.
How many protons electrons in magnesium?
12 protons, 12 electronsMass number - 12 = protons24 - 12 = 12 neutrons in a neutral element.Look at the Periodic Table and coorespond the numbers I gave. Look at element 12 = Magnesium.The magnesium ion [Ne]2s22p6 is the electronic configuration of the noble gas closest to it in the PT (Ne = Neon). Mg 1s22s22p63s2 and Ne 1s22s22p6.
