The bonding in magnesium metal is known as metallic bond. Metallic bonding is the electromagnetic interaction between delocalized electrons and metallic nuclei within metals. The electrons and the positive ions in the metal have a strong attractive force between them. Therefore metals often have high melting or boiling points. The principle is similar to that of ionic bonds.
Magnesium can also do ionic and covalent bonding. e.g. MgO (Magnesium oxide), is an example for ionic bonding and MgCl (Magnesium Chloride), is an example for covalent bonding.
