What makes magnesium an acid or alkali?

Magnesium itself is a metal and does not classify as an acid or alkali. However, when it reacts with acids, it can produce hydrogen gas and magnesium salts, indicating its reactivity with acidic substances. In the presence of water, magnesium oxide can form magnesium hydroxide, which is a weak alkaline solution. Thus, magnesium's behavior in chemical reactions determines its classification in relation to acids and alkalis, but it is not inherently one or the other.


What is the chemical name for MgSe?

On the surface, this would be magnesium sulphide, but magnesium sulphide is MgS. The compound here, Mg2S2, has the same ratio of magnesium to sulfur as MgS, but this compound, Mg2S2 is not one that exists. A molecule made of two atoms of magnesium and two atoms of sulfur, Mg2S2, will not form. A link can be found below to the "real" magnesium sulphide.
