Why is sodium a different element with different properties than magnesium?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
Sodium has a charge of +1 in its ionized form while magnesium has a charge of +2 in its ionized form. This is due to the number of protons and electrons in each element. Having a different charge alters the types of reactions and products involved with that element.

How are the properties of sodium Na similar to or different from the properties of lithium Li or magnesium Mg?
The key difference between sodium and sodium chloride is that sodium is a chemical element whereas sodium chloride is a compound containing both sodium and chlorine chemical elements.
What element is most reactive sodium magnesium or iron?
Sodium is more reactive than either magnesium or iron.
What does the properties of salts are different from the properties of elements that make them mean?
[read this, if you don't think it sounds good, don't use it or if it does not make good sense do not use it but read it first . THANK YOU!] What i think the statement means by is that the properties of salts are formed when an element in the group under sodium or magnesium in the Periodic Table combines with an element under fluorine.
What element is 12p 12n?
Magnesium (Mg)

12-Magnesium
Can a element be broken down into substances with different properties?
No. Compounds and mixtures are made of elements and can be broken down, as in table salt which is Sodium Chloride and can be split into sodium and chlorine gas, which are elements that have different properties.
