Question

write the configuration mg Ar​

Answer 1

Answer:

In order to write the Mg electron configuration we first need to know the number of electrons for the Mg atom (there are 12 electrons). When we write the configuration we'll put all 12 electrons in orbitals around the nucleus of the Magnesium atom.

In writing the electron configuration for Magnesium the first two electrons will go in the 1s orbital. Since 1s can only hold two electrons the next 2 electrons for magnesium go in the 2s orbital. The nex six electrons will go in the 2p orbital. The p orbital can hold up to six electrons. We'll put six in the 2p orbital and then put the remaining two electrons in the 3s. Therefore the Magnesium electron configuration will be 1s22s22p63s2.

Answer 2

Answer:

mg = 2,8,8,6

ar =2,8,8
