How many electrons does an ion of magnesium have if it’s represented by the symbol shown below? 25Mg2+

10 electrons.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since a normal atom of magnesium has 12 protons and electrons when is not in the form of a cation, since it is a metal that tends to lose electrons when ionized, and therefore it becomes positively charged, we infer  that in form of:

It only has 10 electrons.

Best regards!

each chemical family is represented as a group or column on the periodic table. based on chemical properties, there are 6 types of chemical families. group 1 represents alkali metals, group 2 represents alkaline earth metals, groups 3 to 12 represent transition metals, groups 13 to 16 represent non-metals and other metals, group 17 represents halogens and group 18 represents noble gases.

12 is it do you think so
