What is difference and similarities between Mg and Mg^(2+).

1.	What is difference and similarities between Mg and Mg^(2+).
Answer» SOLUTION :Difference : Mg is neutral atom and Atomic radius is more than `Mg^(2+)`. Mg contain 12 electrons. Mg is parent atom `Mg^(+2)` is positive ION. IONIC radius is less than Mg. `Mg^(+2)` ion contain 10 electrons. `Mg^(+2)` is positive ion obtain from Mg. Similarity : Mg and `Mg^(2+)` having same atomic NUMBER .
