Magnesium is in group 2 of the Periodic Table, and so has 2 electrons in its outermost energy level. Therefore, its outermost energy level is full once 2 electrons are removed, and so it has an ionisation number of 2
Phosphorus has a larger first ionization energy than magnesium. This is because ionization energy generally increases across a period in the periodic table due to increasing nuclear charge, which holds electrons more tightly. Magnesium is in Group 2, while phosphorus is in Group 15, leading to phosphorus having more protons and a stronger attraction for its valence electrons, resulting in higher ionization energy.
Chlorine is Cl, C is carbon. The first ionization energy of magnesium is less than that of chlorine.
Magnesium's group number is 2. Its period number is 3.
First ionization energy of magnesium = 870/ kj/mol First ionization energy of phosphorous = 589 kj/mol So, magnesium has the larger ionization energy required to pull the first valance electron. Do you know why?

Magnesium has 12 protons. Bear in mind that ionization has no effect on the number of protons, so the "2 plus" is unnecessary. Magnesium always has 12 protons, that is the definition of magnesium.
The magnesium ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove one electron from a neutral magnesium atom to form a positively charged magnesium ion. The first ionization energy of magnesium is 737.7 kJ/mol, indicating the energy needed to remove the outermost electron.
Mg + Ionization energy ----> Mg2+ + 2e
Magnesium is in the group 2. 0 is the lowest oxidation number for it.
Phosphorus has a larger first ionization energy than magnesium. This is because ionization energy generally increases across a period in the periodic table due to increasing nuclear charge, which holds electrons more tightly. Magnesium is in Group 2, while phosphorus is in Group 15, leading to phosphorus having more protons and a stronger attraction for its valence electrons, resulting in higher ionization energy.
Chlorine is Cl, C is carbon. The first ionization energy of magnesium is less than that of chlorine.
The oxidation number of magnesium in magnesium sulfide is +2. Sulfur typically has an oxidation number of -2 in ionic compounds.

Singl atom has 12 electrons. Oxidation number of it is +2.
+2 for Mg, +4 for C, -2 for each O in MgCO3
The oxidation number of magnesium is +2. Any other for this element would be energetically unfavorable and unstable.
Valency is not a word... but if you want to know the number of valence electrons that Magnesium has, it is 2. Magnesium's atomic number is 12.
