Solution

The answer is (d).
Electronic configuration $_{12} M g a t o m = 2, 8, 2$ and that of $M g^{2 +} i o n = 2, 8$
Number of protons in Mg atom = 2 + 8 + 2 = 12
Number of neutrons in Mg atom = 24 -12 = 12
[as mass number of Mg atom = 24 and number of neutrons = mass number — number of protons]
