Any element in the same group (column) as Mg. The periodic tabe is arranged so that all the elements in the same group, regardless of metal or non-metal, possess similar chemical characteristics.

∙ 12y agoThe second column on the Periodic Table of the chemical elements is collectively called the alkaline earth metal group: beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium. Because the outer electron structure in all of these elements is similar, they all have somewhat similar chemical and physical properties. All are shiny, fairly soft-although harder than the alkali metals-and most are white or silvery colored. The steady increase in melting and boiling points with increasing molecular mass noticed in the alkali metal group is less pronounced in the alkaline earths; beryllium has the highest rather than the lowest melting point, for example, and the other metals do not follow a consistent pattern. All the alkaline earth metals react with water to produce hydrogen gas and the metal hydroxide, although somewhat less vigorously than the alkali metals. Magnesium metal can be set on fire, and burns with an extremely intense white light as it combines with oxygen in the air to form magnesium oxide. Strontium, barium, and calcium react readily with oxygen in the air to form their oxides.

What elements does magnesium like to bond to?
Magnesium can bond with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. Magnesium can also bond with chloride and that will create magnesium dichloride.
What are the common compounds of magnesium?
Like many other elements, magnesium can be found in a variety of compounds.
What are the elements of magnesium hydroxide?
magnesium,hydrogen&oxygen
What elements are in magnesium bromide?
As the name suggests, magnesium and bromine.
Magnesium and bromine elements combined?
Magnesium bromide: MgBr2
What are the 2 most abundant elements found in the mantle?
These elements are oxygen and magnesium.
What element is most like magnesium in its chemical bonding properties?
Calcium is most like magnesium in its chemical bonding properties, with beryllium close behind. These are the elements respectively below and above magnesium in column 2 of a wide form periodic table.
What elements does magnesium naturally combine with the most?
group 17 elements (halogens)
With which group of elements is magnesium most reactive?
with group 17 elements or halogens
What elements are like magnesium?
they are alkali earth metals.
What elements does magnesium like to bond to?
Magnesium can bond with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. Magnesium can also bond with chloride and that will create magnesium dichloride.
Which of the following elements would be the most different from magnesium (Mg)?
Na
What are the common compounds of magnesium?
Like many other elements, magnesium can be found in a variety of compounds.
What elements are like Ca but smaller?
You think probable to beryllium and magnesium.
Is magnesium and oxygen elements compounds or mixtures?
magnesium and oxygen are elements. They are not compounds
Will mg combine with any other elements?
Yes it does. Magnesium is most liekly to combine ionically with the group 16 or 17 elements, like Oxygen, Fluorine, Sulfur, Chlorine, etc.
What is magnesium oxide elements?
