The answer is 
. A magnesium atom has 12 protons and an arrangement of [2, 8, 2]. When you lose two electrons, arrangement becomes [2,8] and the atom becomes a positively charged ion
Answer:
5 elections
because no. of electrons =no.of proton= atomic number.

Answer:
Explanation:
Use Dalton's law and the vapor pressure of water at 23.0 o C to correct the pressure to units of atmoshperes.
PT = Poxygen +Pwater
At 23.0 o C the vapor pressure of water is 21.1 mmHg. (This can be found on a vapor pressure table.)
762 mmHg = Poxygen + 21.1 mmHg
Poxygen = 762 mmHg - 21.1 mmHg
Poxygen =741 mmHg
Convert the corrected pressure to atmospheres.
(741 mmHg) (1 atm / 760 mmHg) = 0.975 atm
Use the ideal gas law to find out how many moles of gas were produced:
PV = nRT (remember to put volume in liters and temperature in Kelvin)
(0.975 atm) (.193 L) = n (.0821 L atm / mol K) (298 K)
n = (0.975 atm) (.193 L) / (.0821 L atm / mol K) (298 K)
n = 7.69 X 10-4 mol
Use the number of moles and the molecular weight of oxygen to find out how many grams of oxygen were collected.
(7.69 X 10-4 mol) (32.0 g / 1 mol) = 2.46 X 10-2 g
C + O2 ——> CO2
Carbon plus oxygen forms carbon dioxide
