Question

Why magnesium tends to lose electron?

Answer 1

Answer:

it has 2 extra electrons in its valence shell hence by losing two electrons it gains stability..

Answer 2

Answer:

Magnesium is in Group II and has two electrons in its valence shell. Thus it tends to lose two electrons. ... Nitrogen, on the other hand, is in Group V and has five valence electrons, so it needs to gain three electrons to get a full valence shell. Thus the most stable state for nitrogen ions is the N3− ion.
