Answer:

Magnesium will remain positively charged +2 → Mg⁺²

Explanation:

The octet rule states that the atoms of the elements bind each other in the attempt to complete their valence shell with eight electrons. That is to say, the atoms will tend to yield or share electrons to complete eight electrons in the valence layer through an ionic, covalent or metallic bond.

In other words, the objective is to have the closest noble gas electronic configuration, thus having the last complete electron layer and acquiring stability.

This defines the electronic tendencies of each atom, being able to yield (and we call these cations) or tendency to accept (and we call them anions).

In the case of Mg, this element is closer to Ne (Neon) and will tend to lose the last two electrons and thus, its electronic configuration would be the same. In this way, since electrons are negative, Magnesium, by transferring its electrons, will remain positively charged +2 → Mg⁺²

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed but the mass of the system must remain constant over time. The total number of atoms in the reactants is equal to the total number of atoms in the product. Therefore, this chemical equation shows that energy is conserved and demonstrates the law of conservation of mass.

To show the electron configuration for an atom, when would it be better to use an orbital notation than to use a written configu
Kisachek [45]
The answer is: when the aim is to show electron distributions in shells

An orbital notation is more appropriate if you want to show how the electrons of an atom are distributed in each subshell. This is because there are some atoms that have special electronic configurations that aren't obvious in just written configurations.
