No, it is not. 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.

Is there a relationship between magnesium and magnetism?

The names are related, but only by historical confusion. In ancient times several different ores from the region of Magnesia in Thessaly were mistakenly thought to be related, and all were called magnes in Greek. One was what we know call magnetite or lodestone, and it is from it that we get the word magnet. The others were later found to be oxides two previously unknown elements, now called manganese and magnesium. For more details see the History section of the Wikipedia article on manganese.


Why does magnesium react slowly with water?

Magnesium reacts slowly with water because it has a protective oxide layer on its surface that inhibits the reaction. This oxide layer serves as a barrier, preventing water from coming into direct contact with the magnesium metal and slowing down the reaction rate.

Is sunspots related to the suns magnesium?

Sunspots on the sun's surface are not directly related to the sun's magnesium content. Sunspots are areas of magnetic activity that appear darker because they are cooler than the surrounding surface. The magnesium content of the sun is relatively stable and does not directly cause the formation of sunspots.
