Magnesium single crystal 12Mg24.312
Magnesium is a silvery-white, lustrous and relatively soft metal. It is obtained by the electrolysis of fused MgCl2. Magnesium burns in air when ignited and it reacts with hot water. It is used as the bulk metal and in lightweight alloys. Magnesium as a 'sacrificial' electrode will protect other metals that are exposed to seawater and ground water.
