2022: ☢️ Electron Configuration of Magnesium (Mg) [Complete, Abbreviated, Uses ...

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 3s2

Abbreviated Electron Configuration

[Ne] 3s2

Sources

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

Mg

Uses

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

12

Description

Lightweight, malleable, silvery-white metal. Eighth most abundant element in the universe. Seventh most abundant element in the earth's crust.

Atomic Mass

24,305

Learn more about the atomic mass.

Name Origin

From Magnesia ancient city in district of Thessaly, Greece.

State at 20 °C

solid

Discovery

Discovered By: Sir Humphrey Davy
Year: 1808
Location: England

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Electron Configuration of Magnesium (Mg) [Complete, Abbreviated, Uses ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
