You should read up on Proust's law, better known as the Law of Definite Proportions. This is a chemical law that defines your question more generally, on why the ratio of elements and ions are always fixed.
Basically, this compound Magnesium(II) Chloride is MgCl2 because it has the same number of protons, neutrons, and electrons all the way. This defines the properties of the compound or atom.
Although you have not provided the circled electron, I can help you with a wide explanation.
1) Atomic number of manganese is 25. That means that it has 25 protons and 25 electrons.
2) Those 25 electrons are distributed (electron configuration) as per the quantum rules:
1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁵
3) The most reasonable is that you have been asked to give the possible quantum numbers for an electron in the 4s or 3d.
4) Those are 7 electrons and these are their possible sets of quantum numbers:
i) For the two electrons in 4s:
n is the main energy level so n = 4
l tells the kind of orbital, which is s, so l = 0
ml is also 0 (it can be from -l to + l, so given that l i s0, ml is 0)
ms: one is +/12 and the other is -1/2 (this is the spin number).
ii) For the 5 electrons in 3d
n = 3
l can be 0, 1, or 2
if l = 0, then ml = 0
if l = 1, then ml can be -1, 0 , or 1 (from - l to + l)
ms can be either +1/2 or - 1/2 (spin)
Molecules are cooler so they bocme more dense.. move very slow, have less kinetic energy and are not in random motion.
