Magnesium has #12# protons and #12# electrons.

The first electron shell of a Bohr model holds #2# electrons.

The second holds #8#.

So far, #10# of magnesium's #12# electrons have been used, so only #2# remain.

The remaining #2# are placed in the third electron shell, which is full when it holds #8# electrons.
