Any atom, ion, or isotope with 12 protons is going to be magnesium. Only the number of protons in the nucleus will determine the element. But with the information about the number of neutrons, the specific isotope can also be determined - 22Mg.
Yes. An example would be carbon-12. It has 6 protons and 6 neutrons.
Mg has 12 protons since it is element number 12 on the periodic table. To calculate the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number (12 protons) from the atomic mass (26), which gives 14 neutrons in this case.
12. the atomic number of an element is the number of protons in it's nucleus. The mass number is the number of protons+neutrons. Therefore the element has (32-20)12 protons.
The symbol for an element is typically written as [A-Z][a-z][number], where A is the element's atomic number, Z is the element's chemical symbol, and the number represents the sum of protons and neutrons (called mass number). So, for 12 protons, 10 electrons, and 12 neutrons, the symbol would be Mg.
Neutrons-12 Protons -12 Electrons-10
none because the number of protons and electrons have to be the same.
Magnesium2+ because it donated 2 electrons
The element with 10 protons is neon (atomic number 10). Since the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom, neon also has 10 electrons. With 12 neutrons, the isotope of neon described is neon-22.
Yes. An example would be carbon-12. It has 6 protons and 6 neutrons.
Carbon-12 has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. The number of protons determines the element (carbon), the number of neutrons plus protons gives the mass number (12), and in a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons.
A neon-20 atom has 10 protons and 10 neutrons within its nucleus, whereas neon-22 has 10 protons and 12 neutrons, making it an isotope.
Mg has 12 protons since it is element number 12 on the periodic table. To calculate the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number (12 protons) from the atomic mass (26), which gives 14 neutrons in this case.
12. the atomic number of an element is the number of protons in it's nucleus. The mass number is the number of protons+neutrons. Therefore the element has (32-20)12 protons.
Sodium is a metal element. Mass number of it is 23.
The symbol for an element is typically written as [A-Z][a-z][number], where A is the element's atomic number, Z is the element's chemical symbol, and the number represents the sum of protons and neutrons (called mass number). So, for 12 protons, 10 electrons, and 12 neutrons, the symbol would be Mg.
