Answer:

2 electrons

E. neon

Explanation:

Metals lose electrons under certain conditions to attain a noble gas electron configuration. Magnesium has 12 electrons and its electron configuration is

Shtirlitz [24]
The balloon has traveled 30 meters up from the bicyclist and since it's rising 5 meters per second, 2 seconds later it will travel 10 meters higher. 2 seconds later the bicyclist will travel 20 meters away.   so 10+20+30= 60 meters away from each other.
