Iknow #2 is d. i just need to know why

Sally is making a model of a magnesium atom with an atomic mass number of 24 for her chemistry class. she has foam balls for the protons, neutrons, and electrons. she has added 6 neutrons to her model so far. how many more neutrons does she need to add to complete her neutral atom of magnesium?

Astable electron arrangement for an atom is one that does not easily change. how is this arrangement arrived at? a. valence electrons are transferred or shared to create a full outer shell of electrons. b. valence electrons are discarded into space to create a full outer shell of electrons. c. protons (positive charge) pair with valence electrons (negative charge) to create a strong bond. d. outer shells with valence electrons are transferred or shared.
