Electrons have a specific form of distribution (or configuration) in every atom, even Magnesium. Some are hard to memorise (or predict), so what is the electron configuration of an atom of Mg?
In the case of Magnesium the abbreviated electron configuration is [Ne] 3s2. Nevertheless, check the complete configuration and other interesting facts about Magnesium that most people don't know.

Magnesium Overview
Magnesium Complete Electron Configuration
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2Abbreviated Electron Configuration
[Ne] 3s2Sources
Usually obtained by electrolysis of melted magnesium chloride (MgCl2) found in sea water. Each cubic mile of seawater contains about 12 billion pounds of magnesium.Atomic Symbol
MgUses
Used in alloys to make airplanes, missiles and other uses for light metals. Has structural properties similar to aluminium. But since it is flammable at temperatures of burning gasoline, its uses are limited.Atomic Number
