- Like all metals, it is malleable and can easily conduct electricity.
- It has fairly low melting and boiling points, but its ions are extremely soluble in water.
- It is also quite light, with a density of only ~1.7 times that of water. As a result, it is used in many alloys to lower the weight while maintaining the strength.
- It is very reactive, but like many metals the oxide layer formed on contact with air protects the bulk from further corrosion.
- When powdered or in strips, it can easily be ignited and will visibly form bubbles when placed in water.

What are two elements that have similar properties to the element calcium?
Calcium shares properties with Magnesium and Strontium.
The chemical properties of calcium are most similar to the chemical properties of?
The chemical properties of calcium are most similar to (in between) the chemical properties of magnesium and strontium.
What element is most like magnesium in its chemical bonding properties?
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.
Why is magnesium a metal?
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.
Which element has chemical properties most like ca?
Mg (magnesium)
