Magnesium always has 12 protons (both in neutral form and in ion form).
Magnesium can be a solute depending on the conditions, but it is not always one. In aqueous solutions, magnesium metal is not a solute, but magnesium ions can be. In solids, magnesium can be thought of as a solute in certain metal solutions known as alloys. Thus, whether or not magnesium is a solute depends on the context.
Yes. Milk of Magnesia is the generic name for the brand name Maalox. The amount of inactive ingredients might be slightly different because of patents, but the percentage of the active ingredient is the same.
no it is liquid!
no
always!
Magnesium is the pure element, however it is not found in nature by itself, it always bonds with another element. So you have many forms of magnesium such as magnesium Aspartate, bicarbonate, Carbonate, Chloride, Citrate, Gluconate, Glycinate, Hydroxide, Lactate, Malate, Orotate, Oxide, Phophate, Picolinate, Propionate, Stearate, Sulfate and Taurate, to name a few. All these different forms have one other element that they are bonded with magnesium + citric acid = magnesium citrate for instance. These different forms of magnesium have two specific qualities A. they have percentage of actual elemental magnesium i.e. how much of the combination is actual pure magnesium e.g. magnesium carbonate is 45% actual magnesium, where as magnesium sulfate is only 10% actual magnesium B. they have a rough percentage of bioavailability (how absorbable and thus useable they are for the body). For instance magnesium citrate is 90% bioavailable and so most of it could be potentially used and absorbed by the body. Magnesium oxide for instance is only 4% bioavailable for the body and so if one took magnesium oxide which had 100mg of actual magnesium in it, there would only be 4mg that the body could possible use. Let me know if this answers your question. Kind Regards, Fifty Pence
Anecdotal evidence - instead of taking the Donnatol the doctors have prescribed for Porphyria related pain, I drink magnesium citrate & it works. Donnatol is a muscle relaxer used to stop intestinal spasms. Magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts) works better; but, tastes worse than magnesium citrate.
Magnesium doesn't exist in the nature as a pure chemical element.
yes, a solution is always a mixture
Yes, but you must have a legit prescription, do not overdose and use post cycle therapy products like tamoxifen citrate, clomiphene citrate and hcg. And first always consult your doctor.

Magnesium does oxidize. That is why magnesium is often found on earth with a thin layer of Magnesium Oxide (MgO). For this reason when using magnesium in experiments you must always sand it to remove the oxide layer.

Magnesium has 12 protons. Bear in mind that ionization has no effect on the number of protons, so the "2 plus" is unnecessary. Magnesium always has 12 protons, that is the definition of magnesium.
A solution is not always a liquid: An alloy like brass is a solid in solid solution, and air is a gas in gas solution.
