What is Magnesium?

Magnesium is a chemical element with the symbol Mg and atomic number 12. It is a shiny gray solid which bears a close physical resemblance to the other five elements in the second column (group 2, or alkaline earth metals) of the periodic table: all group 2 elements have the same electron configuration in the outer electron shell and a similar crystal structure. Magnesium is commonly used in alloys to make them lightweight and strong, such as in aerospace and automotive applications. Magnesium compounds are used in medicines, antacids, and dietary supplements. It also plays a crucial role in biological processes, including photosynthesis and enzyme activation.
