What you will receive •You will receive a 2ml glass vial of 99.99% pure magnesium metal that is in a bead / shot like form. As seen in pictures. • Sweet Stocking stuffer, Christmas gift • Great chemistry gift •Amazing science gift The Facts • Magnesium (atomic number 12)this sample is ideal for element collectors on the cheap or those conducting experiments •The main purpose of magnesium metal is to manufacture: Various magnesium salts, Refractory materials, Light alloy, Silver-white antirust paint •It is characterized by weak alkalinity, negative potential, reducing property, low dissolution and high safety. • You can find a magnesium atom at the center of every chlorophyll molecule • Magnesium is an extremely light metal giving it a wide range of Applications. it also is the first metal on the periodic table that is useable under normal conditions sodium and lithium being too reactive and beryllium too toxic. • magnesium shavings burn very hot when heated or introduced to sparks making it an excellent fire starter for backpackers And campers. •Magnesium generates high temperature during combustion and can be used as a thermite for welding steel rails •Aluminum and magnesium alloys can be prepared by adding metal magnesium into aluminum, which has the advantages of high strength and low density Safety/Caution: •Keep out of reach of children •Do not Ingest •take proper safety measures when working with all elements.
