 THE
PROPERTIES
OF MG
Magnesium • From the Greek word "Magnesia", a district of Thessaly,
Sir Humphrey Davy in 1755.

has the • Atomic Number = 12

• Atomic Mass = 24.31, 12 protons, 12 electrons, 12
symbol Mg neutrons.
 Most • Used in flares and pyrotechnics, including incendiary
bombs.

common use It is lighter than aluminum, and is used in alloys used

for aircraft, car engine casings, and missile
construction .
The hydroxide (milk of magnesia), chloride, sulfate
(Epsom salts), and the citrate are used in medicine
 Physical
Properties:
• Magnesium is a shiny, silver or gray colored metal that is light in weight and strong.
Th density of magnesium is 1.738 g/mL, which means the metal will sink in water, but it is still
relatively light weight.
 What are the Physical Properties of Magnesium?

Color Silvery-white metal

Phase Solid

Crystalline structure Hexagonal

Ductility It can be beaten into extremely thin sheets

Malleability Capable of being shaped or bent

Luster Exhibits a shine or glow

Hardness Relatively soft

Melting point The melting point is 651°C (1,200°F)

Boiling point Boiling point is 1,100°C (2,000°F)

 Chemical • Magnesium is a silvery white metal. The surface of
magnesium metal is covered with a thin layer of oxide

Properties that helps protect the metal from attack by air. Once
ignited, magnesium metal burns in air with a
characteristic blinding bright white flame to give a
mixture of white magnesium oxide, MgO, and
magnesium nitride, Mg3N2.
• Safety: Do not try this without supervision and DO
NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE LIGHT!
• Magnesium is very reactive towards the halogens such
as chlorine, Cl2 or bromine, Br2, and burns to form the
dihalides magnesium chloride, MgCl2 and magnesium
bromide, MgBr2,
SPDF
What is the • SPDF are orbital electron.
• Atomic orbitals are a function that describes the
meaning of behavior of electrons.

orbitals
• The orbitals are of 4 types. They are named s,p,d,f .The
s, p, d, and f stand for sharp, principal, diffuse and

SPDF in
fundamental, respectively. The letters and words refer
to the visual impression left by the fine structure of the

chemistry?
spectral lines which occurs due to the first relativistic
corrections, especially the spin-orbital interaction.
• Block s os a consisting of alkali metals including helium
(groups 1 and groups 2)
• Block d is a transition metal block from group (groups 3
to 12)
• Block p is an element block from group (13 to 18)
• Block f is a group of lanthanides andactinides
 S= 2
p= 6
d= 10
f= 14

filling rules.

The first thing you should remember is that

electrons fill up the orbitals starting from the lowest energy level,
which is the closest to the nucleus, and
continues to a higher energy level away from the nucleus.
The order of full orbitals is as follows
GROUPS
(PERIODIC TABLE)
What is • In chemistry, a group (also known as a family) is a
column of elements in the periodic table of

groups? the chemical elements. There are 18 numbered groups

in the periodic table, and the f-block columns (between
groups 3 and 4) are not numbered. The elements in a
group have similar physical or chemical characteristics
of the outermost electron shells of their atoms (i.e., the
same core charge), as most chemical properties are
dominated by the orbital location of the outermost
electron.

ATOMIC NUMBER
AND
MASS NUMBER
 How to
calculate the
number of
protons,
electrons, number of protons = atomic number
(p = Z)

and neutrons Number of electrons = atomic number

(e = Z)
in atoms and Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number
