reacts with oxygen in air to produce magnesium oxide.
Magnesium is a metallic element with chemical properties similar to calcium.
Calcium is most like magnesium in its chemical bonding properties, with beryllium close behind. These are the elements respectively below and above magnesium in column 2 of a wide form periodic table.
magnesium and strontium
Both metals can lose two electrons and both metals form ions with a 2+ charge.
The Chemical Formula for Magnesium Nitride is Mg3N2.
The chemical properties of calcium are most similar to (in between) the chemical properties of magnesium and strontium.
Magnesium is a metallic element with chemical properties similar to calcium.
the elements that lie in the group in which magnesium lies will repeat the properties of magnesium.

Mg (magnesium)
Calcium is most like magnesium in its chemical bonding properties, with beryllium close behind. These are the elements respectively below and above magnesium in column 2 of a wide form periodic table.
Magnesium has some similarities with beryllium.

magnesium and strontium
Chemical properties involve reacting with another substance. IE: burning of magnesium requires oxygen after which it is no longer magnesium. Physical properties do not. IE: metals are malleable, some very malleable, like copper wire can be bent with your hand. BUT it is still copper wire.
magnesium is not a metal but a reactive metal. scientists have divided all elements into two types of category: metals and non-metals to classify them as they have different chemical and physical properties. magnesium has properties of a metal so it is a metal.
