Mg. Mg has 2 valence electrons while Na only has 1 valence electron. Mg+2 also has a smaller ionic radius than Na+. Metallic bonds are stronger when metals have more valence electrons and smaller ion size. The metallic bond will be stronger for Mg. Thus, Mg will have the higher melting point.
Both Mg and Na have the same outer energy level (shell). Mg has one proton more than NA and one electron more. The charge on th eouter shell the effective nuclear charge is reduced by the inner core electrons, which are the ame in both cases So the pull experienced by the valence electrons towards the nucleus is more in the case of Mg than Na. Hence Mg has slightly smaller size (radius) than Na.
na is more electropositive. it is so as electropositivity decreases from left to right across a group
NA and MG are bridge elements because some of the second period elements show a diagonal relationship with the third period elements. Other examples would be LI and MG.
The elements involved in this reaction are sodium (Na) and magnesium (Mg). The reaction occurs between solid sodium (Na) and solid magnesium fluoride (MgF2) to form solid sodium fluoride (NaF) and solid magnesium (Mg).
The second ionization energy of sodium (Na) is much greater than that of magnesium (Mg) because of the difference in their electronic configurations and the stability of the resulting ions. When Na loses its first electron, it achieves a stable noble gas configuration (Neon), making the removal of a second electron from the positively charged Na⁺ ion much more difficult. In contrast, when magnesium loses its first electron, it still has a relatively stable electron configuration and retains two valence electrons, making the second ionization less energetically demanding. Thus, the increased stability of Na⁺ compared to Mg⁺ contributes to the significantly higher second ionization energy for Na.
Na is chemically more like Li than Mg, only physically (measurements, mass) it looks more like Mg
Harder na Rass was created in 1979.

Mg has a larger atomic radius than Na. This is because atomic radius generally increases as you move down a group in the periodic table, and Mg is below Na in the same group. Additionally, Mg has more energy levels and electrons compared to Na, contributing to its larger atomic radius.
From greatest to least tendency to accept an electron, they are F, O, C, Li, and Be.
