Mg is so reactive because it is an alkali earth metal. All metals in this family react violently with water opposed to orther metals. Ex. Transitions metals(Gold Silver)

Is silver more reactive then magnesium?
No. Magnesium is far more reactive than silver. Silver is one of the least reactive metals.
Is silver more reactive than platinum?
No; silver is more reactive than platinum.
What are the Metals more reactive than hydrogen?
sodium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, zinc, iron, tin and led are metals more reactive than hydrogen.
Is iron more reactive than magnesium?
In a short answer No. But I can't really explain why.
Is uranium more reactive than magnesium explain?
Uranium electronegativity (Pauling's Scale): 1.38 Magnesium electronegativity (Pauling's scale: 1.31 As a result, uranium is a slightly more reactive than magnesium.
Is silver more reactive then magnesium?
No. Magnesium is far more reactive than silver. Silver is one of the least reactive metals.
Is magnesium more reactive than sodium?
sodium is more reactive than magnesium!
Is Sodium is more reactive than magnesium.?
sodium is more reactive than magnesium!
Is magnesium more reactive than lithium?
Lithium is more reactive to water than magnesium because while Lithium will explode and generally destroy the container it is in, magnesium will cause the water to violently bubble.
Is silver more reactive than platinum?
No; silver is more reactive than platinum.
What element is most reactive sodium magnesium or iron?
Sodium is more reactive than either magnesium or iron.
What are the Metals more reactive than hydrogen?
sodium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, zinc, iron, tin and led are metals more reactive than hydrogen.
Is iron more reactive than magnesium?
In a short answer No. But I can't really explain why.
Why isn't carbon present in magnesium?
carbon is more reactive than magnesium
Is lead more reactive than magnesium?
Yes
Is uranium more reactive than magnesium explain?
Uranium electronegativity (Pauling's Scale): 1.38 Magnesium electronegativity (Pauling's scale: 1.31 As a result, uranium is a slightly more reactive than magnesium.
Are magnesium and calcium more reactive with oxygen in the air than is aluminum?
calcium and mg are more reactive
