What does family mean in the periodic table?
a family of the periodic table is like a group of elements of the same type.
Why can't magnesium be melted down from its ore?
Magnesium cannot be melted down from its ore because the melting point of magnesium oxide (the primary ore of magnesium) is very high (around 2,800 degrees Celsius). This makes the extraction process energy-intensive and cost-prohibitive. Instead, magnesium is usually produced by electrolysis of magnesium chloride.
Is magnesium oxide a pure substance?
Yes. Magnesium oxide is a compound which is a type of pure substance.
What type of particles magnesium is?
All chemical elements (including magnesium) are formed from atoms.
What do elements in the same group or family share?
Elements in the same family are related because of shared properties. For example, all the elements in the noble gas family do not react to anything and are colorless, nonflammable, odorless, and tasteless under normal circumstances.
How many elements does magnesium have?
Magnesium is a single element, on it's own, just as any other element in the periodic table, as it is made up of one type of atom. Carbon Dioxide, on the other hand, is not an element, it is a compund. This is because it has atoms from both Carbon, and Oxygen making up the structure.
What elements are peridots composed of?
Peridot is gem-quality olivine. As such it contains magnesium, iron, silicon, and oxygen.
Why helium and magnesium are both elements and not compound?
Helium and magnesium are both elements because they consist of only one type of atom. In contrast, compounds are made up of two or more different elements chemically bonded together. Helium and magnesium exist in their pure forms as single atoms without being chemically combined with other elements.
What is a group or family of periodic elements?
It is a "column" that represents a specific type of elements with the same type of characteristicas and also are likely to have the same valence electrons. e.g. the Noble Gases Family compose the "Group 8" because they all not react with any other element and their outer orbital has 8 valence electrons, which means is full, and that is also why the do not react!
What do all elements have the same type of?
no my dear the elements are not of the same type, and they don't have the same atom number refer to the periodic table and you will see
What is an alloy of magnesium?
An alloy of Magnesium is a type of steel with Magnesium as the main ingredient. For example, Magnox is 99% Magnesium and 1% Aluminium is a steel used for the cladding of fuel rods in some nuclear power stations. Another alloys with Magnesium contain Aluminium, Zirconium, Silver, Zinc, and the Rare Earth Elements such as Yttrium and Erbium.
Is Mgo a compound or element?
MgO is a compound because it has more than one type of element in it, magnesium and oxygen.
