what is magnesium

Chemistry - Magnesium Introduction Magnesium is a shiny gray solid element. The symbol of magnesium is  ‘Mg’  and atomic number is  ‘12.’ With approximately 80% of the world market share, China is the largest supplier of magnesium. Salient Features of Magnesium The density of magnesium is two-thirds the density of aluminum. Among all the alkali metals of the Earth, magnesium has lowest melting point (i.e. about 1,202 0 F) and lowest boiling point (about 1,994 0 F). Magnesium usually reacts with water at room temperature. Sometimes, magnesium is also used as an igniter for thermite. Magnesium, when burns in air, produces a brilliant-white light, which also includes strong ultraviolet wavelengths. Magnesium, when burns, it produces intense bright and white light (see image given above). Occurrence of Magnesium By mass, magnesium is the eighth-most-abundant element found in the Earth's crust. Magnesium is found usually in large deposits of magnesite, dolomite, and other such...
