    Magnesium is a chemical element; it has symbol Mg and atomic number 12. It is a shiny gray metal having a low density, low melting point and high chemical reactivity. It is a shiny gray metal having a low density, low melting point and high chemical reactivity.

  3. Magnesium in biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_in_biology

    The mechanisms of Mg 2+ transport by the remaining proteins are beginning to be uncovered with the first three-dimensional structure of a Mg 2+ transport complex being solved in 2004. [ 76 ] The hydration shell of the Mg 2+ ion has a very tightly bound inner shell of six water molecules and a relatively tightly bound second shell containing 12 ...

  4. Electron shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_shell

    In chemistry and atomic physics, an electron shell may be thought of as an orbit that electrons follow around an atom's nucleus.The closest shell to the nucleus is called the "1 shell" (also called the "K shell"), followed by the "2 shell" (or "L shell"), then the "3 shell" (or "M shell"), and so on further and further from the nucleus.

    For each atom the subshells are given first in concise form, then with all subshells written out, followed by the number of electrons per shell. For phosphorus (element 15) as an example, the concise form is [Ne] 3s 2 3p 3 .

  7. Electron configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_configuration

    In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, the electron configuration is the distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule (or other physical structure) in atomic or molecular orbitals. [1] For example, the electron configuration of the neon atom is 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 , meaning that the 1s, 2s, and 2p subshells are occupied by two, two, and six ...

  8. Molecular orbital diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital_diagram

    For a diatomic molecule, an MO diagram effectively shows the energetics of the bond between the two atoms, whose AO unbonded energies are shown on the sides. For simple polyatomic molecules with a "central atom" such as methane (CH 4) or carbon dioxide (CO 2), a MO diagram may show one of the identical bonds to the central atom. For other ...

  9. Electron affinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_affinity

    The electron affinity (E ea) of an atom or molecule is defined as the amount of energy released when an electron attaches to a neutral atom or molecule in the gaseous state to form an anion. X(g) + e − → X − (g) + energy. This differs by sign from the energy change of electron capture ionization. [1]
