The pure Mg is a silvery white metal and has a melting point of 650 °C and boiling point of 1090 °C at 1 standard atmosphere (Lide 1993–1994). The electronic configuration of Mg is [Ne]3s2, with low ionization energies, which makes Mg ionic in character with a common valance state of 2+ and a typical ionic radius of 0.72 Å (Shannon 1976). Magnesium is a major element and widely distributed in the silicate... You do not have access to this content, please speak to your institutional administrator if you feel you should have access.
