Answer:

8 electrons

Explanation:

Magnesium is present on group 2.

It has 2 valence electrons.

Electronic configuration of magnesium:

Mg₁₂ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

1st energy level contain 2 electrons.(1s²)

2nd energy  level contain 8 electrons. (2s² 2p⁶)

3rd energy level contain 2 electrons. (3s²)

3rs energy level of magnesium is called valence shell. It contain two valance electrons. Magnesium can easily donate its two valance electrons and get stable electronic configuration.

It react with halogens and form salt. For example,

Mg + Cl₂   →   MgCl₂

What can form as a result of a chemical reaction?
cestrela7 [59]

Answer is: new substance.

For example, synthesis chemical reaction: Ba + F₂ → BaF₂.

Synthesis reaction is a type of reaction in which multiple reactants combine to form a single product.

New substance, barium fluoride is formed, with different chemical and ohysical properties than reactants (barium and fluorine).

In barium fluoride, barium has oxidation number +2 and fluorine has oxidation number -1, so compound has neutral charge.

The coefficients in a balanced chemical equation represent
Dafna1 [17]
The coefficients in a chemical equation represent the molar ratio of the substances.

For example, if an equation says 2H2 + O2 ⇒ 2H2O, it means
2 moles of H2 + 1 mol of O2 ⇒ 2 moles of H2O.
