Mg form mg2+ ion to attain stability after making the bonds like mgS04 Mgcl2 and many more as after removing or donating two electron it Complete its octet and gains stability.

Helloo!!
magnesium atom has atomic number 12.
it means 12 protons in the nucleus and 12 electrons.
These are arranged 2 in the Core shell, then 8 in the antipenultimate shell, and the last two in the penultimateshell.
Therefore a magnesium atom has a configuration of 2,8,2
The magnesium ion Mg2+ is formed when the magnesium atom loses the two electrons from its outer shell.
To attain stable structure like noble gas configuration.
With the two electrons lost, the electron configuration becomes [2,8]2+, the charge on the brackets reminding us that this is an ion not an atom, and that the number of electrons now is NOT the same as the number if protons in the nucleus.
hope it helps
