A NEGATIVE ION is called a ______ (cation, ion) and occurs when an atom (loses, gains) electrons. Choose the two correct terms to fill in blanks

An ISOTOPE occurs when an element has a different (atomic number, mass number) because the number of ___ (protons, neutrons, electrons) are different. Choose the two correct terms to fill in blanks

What is the valence shell (outermost shell) for Mg?

What is the valence shell (outermost shell) for Mg +2?

Compare the number of valence electrons in Mg vs. Mg+2. Choose all that are true.

Use the valence electrons to explain why Mg+2 is more stable than Mg.
