Question

What is the valency of magnesium?

Answer 1

2 +

Magnesium has valency equal to 2 + because the electronic configuration of Mg is [2,8,2]. The nearest noble gas to magnesium is neon with electronic configuration of [2,8], to achieve this stable electronic configuration Mg can lose 2 valence electrons, hence its valency is 2 + .
