Wiki User
∙ 7y agoThe first energy level of any element can contain only 2 electrons (no more). These are the 1s2 electrons. So, the answer is that Mg has 2 electrons in the first energy level.

What is the total number of electrons present in an Mg 2 plus cation?
The Mg2 plus cation has 10 electrons.
Is magnesium a positive or a negative ion?
Positive. It wants to lose two electrons to get to the electron configuration of its nearest noble gas, Ne (Neon).
How many electrons are in Mg2 plus?
there are 10 electrons.
How many electrons of MG plus 2?
The atomic number of Mg (and not written as mg) is 12. So there are 12 protons and 12 electrons Note: Mg is the symbol for the element magnesium mg generally stands for milli grams
What does the symbol Mg2 plus represent?
Magnesium that has lost 2 electrons.
What is the total number of electrons present in an Mg 2 plus cation?
The Mg2 plus cation has 10 electrons.
How many electrons does mg2 plus HAVE?
Magnesium's atomic number is 12. Thus, neutral magnesium would have 12 electrons. Mg2+ therefore has 2 less electrons, or 10.
How many electrons are in an Mg2 plus ion?
There are 10 electrons in an Mg2+ ion.
Is magnesium a positive or a negative ion?
Positive. It wants to lose two electrons to get to the electron configuration of its nearest noble gas, Ne (Neon).
How magnesium atom with 10 electrons migrates to neon?
Mg2+ has 10 electrons. Neon also has 10 electrons. This means Mg2+ and Ne are isoelectronic (Mg doesn't migrate to Ne, the terminology is isoelectronic meaning having the same number of electrons)
How many electrons are in Mg2 plus?
there are 10 electrons.
What has the same number of electrons as sodium?
There is no ion with the same number of electrons (= 11). Mg+ and Ne- do NOT exsist in normal chemistry. However Na+ and Mg2+ and Ne all have (equally) 10 electrons.
What is the number of electrons that were lost gained to form Mg2 plus?
Mg 2.8.2 likes to lose 2 electrons to become Mg 2.8, when it loses them it becomes an Mg 2+ ion.
How many proton mg2 plus have?
The number of protons is 12, the number of electrons is 10, the number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
How many electrons of MG plus 2?
The atomic number of Mg (and not written as mg) is 12. So there are 12 protons and 12 electrons Note: Mg is the symbol for the element magnesium mg generally stands for milli grams
Is Mg2 plus in oxidized form or reduced form?
Oxidation is a loss of electrons. Mg2+ has lost two electrons from it's elemental state, and is thus said to be oxidised.
How many electrons and protons are present in Mg 2?
ans 12 atomic no. of Mg is 12 and in Mg2+ there is a lose of only 2 electrons so no. of protons shall be unchanged.
