In boiling water, the place of hydrogen is taken by Magnesium and a number of metals can be produced using thermal reduction of its salts and oxidized forms with magnesium. We find Magnesium in the second position in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/byjus.com\/periodic-table\/\">periodic table<\/a>. We have been using Magnesium since a hundred years, in bonded form. It was only when a Chemist, Sir Humphry Davy purified and isolated the metal. Since it was found in the bonded form in nature, Magnesium took so long to isolate.<\/li><li>Magnesium is labelled as the eighth most abundant element and about 2% of earth\u2019s crust is constituted by Magnesium. In seawater, it is the most plentiful element present. It is not only found in seawater but also in underground brines and salty layers. After aluminium and iron, magnesium is the third most abundant structural metal in the earth\u2019s crust.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Uses of Magnesium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Magnesium is used by a scientist in medicine. It is used to treat widely in skin related problems and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, mania, recovery after surgery etc.<\/li><li>The green leafy vegetable is an excellent source of Magnesium. Whole grain, seeds, and nuts (Mainly almonds) are also a great source of Magnesium.<\/li><li>The flashbulbs also contain Magnesium. When Mg burns, it produces a bright light that helps the photographers to take photos in the dark.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Magnesium Symbol Mg Atomic Number 12 Atomic Mass 24.305 Discovered by Magnesium was discovered by Joseph Black Chemical Properties of Magnesium Group 2 Melting point 650\u00b0C, 1202\u00b0F, 923 K Period 3 Boiling point 1090\u00b0C, 1994\u00b0F, 1363 K Block s Density (g cm\u22123) 1.74 Atomic number 12 Relative atomic mass 24.305 State at 20\u00b0C Gas Key [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[176],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mudassirbackup.infinitycodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2951"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mudassirbackup.infinitycodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mudassirbackup.infinitycodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mudassirbackup.infinitycodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mudassirbackup.infinitycodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mudassirbackup.infinitycodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2951\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mudassirbackup.infinitycodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mudassirbackup.infinitycodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mudassirbackup.infinitycodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
