Since Magnesium contains 2 valence electrons and each element's purpose for bonding is the get a Noble Gas Electron Configuration (which means to have 8 valence electrons) magnesium has a tendency to bond with elements in group 16 (Oxygen, Sulfur, Selenium, etc.)

How does potassium bromide react with other elements?

Potassium bromide can react with elements like chlorine to form potassium chloride and bromine. It can also react with sulfur to form potassium sulfide and bromine. Additionally, it can react with metals like magnesium to form magnesium bromide and potassium.


Is magnesium inert?

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.


What is magnesium reactive with?

Magnesium is reactive with oxygen, water, and acids. It can react vigorously with oxygen to form magnesium oxide, with water to form magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas, and with acids to form magnesium salts and hydrogen gas.


Can a compound be formed with magnesium and argon?

No, magnesium and argon cannot form a compound as they are both noble gases and do not readily react with other elements to form compounds. Magnesium is a metal and tends to form ionic compounds, while argon is a noble gas and exists as single atoms due to its stable electronic configuration.

Can magnesium chloride react with sodium bicarbonate?

Yes, magnesium chloride can react with sodium bicarbonate to produce magnesium carbonate, water, and carbon dioxide gas. This chemical reaction is commonly used in certain types of fire extinguishers.


Would magnesium react with calcium nitrate?

no, it wouldn't calcium is above magnesium in the reactivity series which means that magnesium can't oxidize calcium. calcium can oxidize magnesium so calcium would react with magnesium nitrate with formation of metallic magnesium and calciumnitrate.


Elements that can react with acid and alkali?

Metals such as magnesium, zinc, and aluminum can react with acids to produce hydrogen gas and a salt. On the other hand, alkalis such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide can react with acids to form a salt and water.
