1.Name: Magnesium Mg 2.Boiling Point: 1994 degrees F 3.Melting Point: 1202 degrees F 4.Density: 1738 kg m-3 5.Protons Nuetrons Electrons: p-12 e-12 n-24 6.Atomic Mass: 24.30 7.Atomic Number: 12 8.Electron Configuration: 1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2 Orbital Notation: first level=2 second level=8 third level=2 9.# valence electrons: Magnesium has 2 valence electrons. 10.How,when,who discovered: In 1618 a farmer in England tried to give his cows water. They didn’t like it because of the bitter taste. Eventually this was discovered as Magnesium Sulfate(MgS04). And later discovered as Magnesium. 11.Where/how produced/processed/mined: It is the eight most abundantelement in the earths crust. It can be found in sea water and the earths crust. 12Chem / physical p.roperties: Chemical- burns very fastly, highly flammable,actively reacts with many non metals: Physical-silvery white shade,out of all metals magnesium is the lightest,easily fabricated,2.1 percent of the earths crust contains magnesuim,biggest found deposit in sea water, 13.Minerals,compounds, or ores in which found: 14.2 common chem reactions: 2Mg(s)+02(G)=2MgO(s) 3Mg(s)+N2(g)=Mg3N2(s) 15.Industrial Commercial uses:Magnesium can be used for many things for example bombs, airplanes, engine parts, rockets, shuttles, and photography. 16.Cost or Value: Magnesium cost about $3.70 per 100 grams. 17.Diagram of Bohr Model: Found below (pictures) 18.Unusual Facts: 1 cubic mile of sea water contains about 600 million tons of magnesium.
