Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, magnesium has two units positive charge, written as Mg2+.
Detailed explanation-2: -Magnesium has two electrons in its outer shell as it is in group 2 of the periodic table, which it loses, so its outer shell is full (2, 8) and it has a charge of +2, as it still has 12 protons (positive charges) and now has only 10 electrons (negative charges).
