When this reaction occurs, strong ionic bonds form between two oppositely charged particles (ions). Magnesium is a group II metal, and therefore has two electrons in it's highest energy level (or outermost electron shell). ... Therefore, they readily take up these two electrons to form negatively charged O2- ions

Determine the number of valence electrons for magnesium
12345 [234]

Answer:

Magnesium has 2 valence electrons.

Explanation:

The atomic number of magnesium is 12. This means that it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. The first electron shell can hold 2 electrons, the second can hold 8, so the third will have 2 electrons. The outermost shell of the atom has two electrons. Therefore, magnesium has 2 valence electrons.

Help me:what helium <br> and what use
Naddik [55]

Answer:

the chemical element of atomic number 2, an inert gas which is the lightest member of the noble gas series.

Explanation:

Because it is very unreactive, helium is used to provide an inert protective atmosphere for making fibre optics and semiconductors, and for arc welding. Helium is also used to detect leaks, such as in car air-conditioning systems, and because it diffuses quickly it is used to inflate car airbags after impact.
