The element M²⁺ after losing 2 electrons has 10 electrons.
here 2 + means two electrons are lost.
So the element M had 12 electrons originally.
Even if the electrons are lost , the protons are the same.
no: of protons = no: of electrons(before losing electrons)
therefore ,
no: of protons will be 12
The atomic number(Z) of an element is the same as the no: of protons.
Atomic no: = 12
Mass number = sum of protons + sum of neutron
= 12 + 12
= 24
The element with atomic no: 12 is Magnesium
