12 protons, 12 electrons

Mass number - 12 = protons

24 - 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.
