Mg-24 Information

Magnesium is a silvery metallic element belonging to group 2 of the periodic table (alkaline-earth metals). It is essential for living organisms, and is used in a number of light alloys. Chemically very reactive, it forms a protective oxide coating when exposed to air and burns with an intense white flame. This element also reacts with sulphur, nitrogen and the halogens (Grignard reagent). Magnesium was isolated by Bussy firstly in 1829.Magnesium has 21 isotopes, 3 of them are stable and naturally occurring.

Magnesium is used in alloys to make airplanes, missiles and it is also used for light metals. It has structural properties similar to aluminium. Powder and stripes og magnesium is highly flammable. But since it is flammable at temperatures of burning gasoline, its uses are limited (burning gasoline temperature is 232 C, Mg temp is : Eng wiki 3100 C, Rus wiki 600 C )
