How did Joseph black discovered magnesium?

Magnesia, (the name derives probably from the ancient district of Magnesia in Asia Minor), the oxide of magnesium, was shown to be an alkaline earth different from lime by the Scottish chemist Joseph Black in 1755; he observed that magnesia gave rise to a soluble sulfate, whereas that derived from lime was known to be insoluble.


Is magnesium a ferrous metal or a non-ferrous metal?

Magnesium has no unpaired electrons. To be magnetic, a metal must have at least one unpaired electron (i.e., a spin up electron without a corresponding spin down electron). In general, response to a magnetic field is a property of electron spin.The confusion comes from the similarity between the two words. Here is a citation by Peter von der Krogt from Elementymology and Elements Multidict:The names magnesia alba and magnesia nigra are derived from Magnesia, Μαγνησια,a prefecture in Thessaly (Greece)… Manganese and Magnesium were abundant in oxide and carbonate ores in this region, and they therefore became referred as Μαγνητις λιθος, or stones from Magnesia. The region also contained large amounts of iron oxides (magnetite, or lodestone, for example) so that the ores were magnetized. That explains why magnesium as well as magnet (and magnetism) are derived from Magnesia, while magnesium is not magnetic.

In ancient times, two black minerals from Magnesia (now Greece) were both called magnes but was thought to differ in gender. The male magnes attracted iron(the iron ore we know as magnetite. which probably gave us the term magnet) but the females didn't. In the 16th century. the compound was called manganesum. Then later isolated to the term manganese.
