Magnesium rapidly combines with many different elements, and violently reacts with hydrogen chloride. The last word I would use to describe it is inert.
Look to the right side of the Periodic Table for gases and elements that are inert.

Is the reaction between MgO and 2HCl endothermic or exothermic?
Magnesium oxide is a very inert substance. It does not disolve readily in water but dos dissolve in acids. the reaction with concentrated hydrochloric acid is exothermic.
Is CO inert?
Carbon monoxide is not an inert gas.
Which group of the periodic table do exceptionally inert gases belong and why are they inert?
group 18 elements. they are inert because they have completely filled orbitals and and stable or chemically inert.
Is gold an inert metal?
Inert is a state of doing little to nothing. In relation to metals, an inert metal is a metal that is not reactive. Gold can react with other things so it is not inert.
What does the symbol Mg represent on the periodic table?
Mg stands for Magnesium. It is placed in group-2.
Do magnesium and argon for an ionic compound?
No. Argon is chemically inert and does not form any bond with magnesium (or other metals).
Why does nitrogen burn magnesium?
While nitrogen is usually fairly inert, magnesium is so reactive that even nitrogen can react with it.
What are similarities between Sulfur and Magnesium?
Magnesium and palladium are both metals; they both have the usual silvery appearance of metals, and are both very electrically conductive. Other than that they are very different. Magnesium is soft and reactive, palladium is hard and inert.
What happens when magnesium oxide reacts with sodium hydroxide?
no rection takes place.because two of the compounds are already oxidized n r therefore inert(unreactive).
Is the reaction between MgO and 2HCl endothermic or exothermic?
Magnesium oxide is a very inert substance. It does not disolve readily in water but dos dissolve in acids. the reaction with concentrated hydrochloric acid is exothermic.
What is the difference between inert and other than inert gas?
Inert means they don't react. Group 18, the noble gases, are inert.
What happens if you replace inert gas in glass bulb of electric lamb by nitrogen gas?
inert gas inert gas inert gas
Is oxygen inert?
no oxygen is not a inert gas
Explain why you would not exspect to be able to combine magnesium and argon to produce a useful substance?
Magnesium is a very reactive substance, rusts when in contact with the moist air and produces a white flame when lit on fire. Whereas Argon is a noble gas and is very inactive. Hence, it is impossible!
Is Gold chemically active or inert?
Gold is active, or at least not inert. Only the noble gases are inert.
What is a sentence using the word inert?
The inert gas had no effect on the experiment. The bomb was inert and failed to explode.
Is argon an inert gas?
argon is an inert gas
