Question

magnesium is cation or anion

Answer 1

hey mate :-)
Your answer is
Magnesium would not be likely to start gaining electrons and become an anion since their valence shell has two electrons, and desires eight.
 It is a lot easier/more likely to lose two electrons than to gain six, which is why magnesium is more likely to become a cation than an anion.
