Magnesium has no unpaired electrons. To be magnetic, a metal must have at least one unpaired electron (i.e., a spin up electron without a corresponding spin down electron). In general, response to a magnetic field is a property of electron spin.
The confusion comes from the similarity between the two words. Here is a citation by Peter von der Krogt from Elementymology and Elements Multidict:
The names magnesia alba and magnesia nigra are derived from Magnesia, Μαγνησια,a prefecture in Thessaly (Greece)… Manganese and Magnesium were abundant in oxide and carbonate ores in this region, and they therefore became referred as Μαγνητις λιθος, or stones from Magnesia. The region also contained large amounts of iron oxides (magnetite, or lodestone, for example) so that the ores were magnetized. That explains why magnesium as well as magnet (and magnetism) are derived from Magnesia, while magnesium is not magnetic.
magnesium is the alkaline earth metal which is the most flameble metalMagnesium gives sparkaling light when it is burnt and it give carbon dioxide when it is burnt.
It is a Metal.
Mg, Magnesium, is a metal.
It is in fact POLAR.
non-ferrous, as it does not contain iron.
Magnesium (Mg) is a metal.
Yes
Brass is a nonferrous metal. It has no iron in it.
Uranium is a nonferrous metal.
Tin itself is a Non-Ferrous metal however Tin Plate is a ferrous metal
Zirconium is a Non-ferrous metal as it does not have any traces of Iron
No, Its Non-ferrous

Zirconium is a nonferrous, transition metal.
Zirconium is a Non-ferrous metal as it does not have any traces of Iron
Zirconium is a Non-ferrous metal as it does not have any traces of Iron
That is a stuip ?
Zirconium is a Non-ferrous metal as it does not have any traces of Iron
No, Its Non-ferrous
corrosion of a nonferrous metal is differnent to ferrous because u are sex,
Aluminum, chromium, titanium and nickel are just a few examples of nonferrous metals.
