Do different types of magnesium react with calcium differently?

When you mean different type of magnesium, it can either be isotopes of magnesium or magnesium compounds. If you mean isotopes, i doubt any isotopes of magnesium is able to react with its calcium brethren. If you're talking bout magnesium compounds, reactivity between the metals depends on the electrochemical series, since magnesium is more electronegative, therefore i dont think calcium is able to displace magnesium from its compound. but magnesium is able to displace calcium from its compound.
