2022: Atomic Symbol for Magnesium (& Cool facts: Sources, Color, Uses and more...)

Some atom symbols are easy to figure out, some are not...

The only sure thing is that every atom has a symbol. But what is the atom whose symbol is Mg?

The answer is Magnesium (Mg). However there is a lot of stuff about Magnesium that people don't know. Let me walk you through...

Magnesium Overview

Atomic Symbol

Mg (Magnesium)

Sources

Usually obtained by electrolysis of melted magnesium chloride (MgCl2) found in sea water. Each cubic mile of seawater contains about 12 billion pounds of magnesium.

Description

Lightweight, malleable, silvery-white metal. Eighth most abundant element in the universe. Seventh most abundant element in the earth's crust.

Name Origin

From Magnesia ancient city in district of Thessaly, Greece.

State at 20 °C

solid

Uses

Used in alloys to make airplanes, missiles and other uses for light metals. Has structural properties similar to aluminium. But since it is flammable at temperatures of burning gasoline, its uses are limited.

Discovery

Discovered By: Sir Humphrey Davy
Year: 1808
Location: England
