Neither.
Magnesium is an element.
Magnesium is a metal. It is a chemical element with the symbol Mg and atomic number 12.
Magnesium hydride is a compound.
No. It is a compound of a metal and a nonmetal. Magnesium on its own is a metal.
Compound
Magnesium chloride is a chemical compound and is therefore not a metal. It is ionic and is not metallic in its properties. Non-metal usually refers to elements.
Magnesium sulfate is a compound, and the terms metal a nonmetal do not apply to it.
It is a compound.
Yes, MgBr2 is a chemical compound composed of magnesium (Mg) and bromine (Br), where magnesium is a metal. MgBr2 is an ionic compound where magnesium has a +2 oxidation state, making it a metal in this compound.
Element.
Magnesium is a metal. When it burns it forms compounds, to which the terms metal and nonmetal are generally not applied.
magnesium is neather a metal nor a non metal. instead it was discovered on the moon in 1899 on the first space walk. since then it has been used to build flame resistant bridges and the 2010 aero sun probe.
Magnesium is a metal when it reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. Magnesium is a metal element, and when it undergoes a chemical reaction with oxygen, it forms an ionic compound (magnesium oxide) where magnesium has a positive charge.
