What must happen to a magnesium atom in order for it to have an electron arrangement similar to that of a noble gas?
For a magnesium atom to achieve an electron arrangement similar to that of a noble gas, it must lose two electrons. Magnesium has three electrons in its outermost shell (the third energy level), and by losing these two electrons, it attains a stable electron configuration resembling that of neon, which has a full outer shell of eight electrons. This loss of electrons results in the formation of a positively charged ion, Mg²⁺.
