Solution

The correct option is D

The atomic number of Mg is 12 and atomic mass is 24, so the number of protons (p) = 12 and number of neutrons (n)=12.

When 2 electrons are removed from the Mg atom, we get $M g^{2 +}$ . $M g^{2 +}$ has a total of 10 electrons (2, 8).

The electronic configuration of Magnesium ion is K=2 and L=8.

Hence,
