The need magnesium mg the lightest structural metal and its alloys with their high specific strength and low density are promising lightweight materials for industrial applications in automotive aerospace and electronic sectors.
What is the state of magnesium at room temperature.
Classified as an alkaline earth metal magnesium is a solid at room temperature.
Magnesium is a solid at room temperature the only metal that is a liquid at room temperature is mercury.
Magnesium reacts with water at room temperature though it reacts much more slowly than calcium a similar group 2 metal.
Magnesium does not become a liquid until it reaches 1202 f.
When submerged in water hydrogen bubbles form slowly on the surface of the metal though if powdered it reacts much more rapidly.
Magnesium is a chemical element with symbol mg and atomic number 12.
The reaction occurs faster with higher temperatures see safety precautions.
