Yo~ Okay~ [Chemistry~]
Let me educate you [About what?]
About Magnesium [Oh my goodness!]
Better get your notes out [Let's begin!]
And write something down
Atomic number is number 12 Mass is 24.3
Discovered in 1755 By a guy named Joseph Black
My origin is from Greece From a district in Thessaly
[I was found in Magnesia] Were you able to get that down?
I'm located in Group 2 [number 2] On Period 3 [I am Mg]
I have a melting point of 650 [Celsius~]
I have a boiling point Of ten-ninety
I'm a metal That tarnishes in air
I'm silvery-white And relatively tough
Physical Properties Have you had enough?
Isotopes 24, 25 & 26, 27, 28 yeah
They're stable except the last two Which die pretty quickly
Only half a life
I~ react with water To produce hydrogen gas
When I burn in air You'll see a bright light
Baby whoa~
I'm used as a catalyst Promoting organic reactions
Of condensation, reduction Addition, Dehaloginization
I join together with most [Together with most]
Non-metals and acids [Non-metals and acids]
I react slightly to Alkalis and organics
[Maybe not at all]
When I'm ignited I could be used for
Photography, flares And incendiary bombs
My alloys are used in aircrafts Car engines, missiles
I'm even in your phone
My compounds are important to molecules Hydroxide, sulfate and citrate
I'm even used for medicinal purposes This is what I get
For being so pure
[Chem-is-try] I have a couple of common compounds [common
compounds] So listen up as I break it down [break it
down] There's MgH2, MgF2, MgI2
MgO2, MgO, Mg3N2
It gets even more complicated than that [That's right]
There's MgBr2.6H2O [What?] They are used from storage
To reducing flames Was I able to blow your mind yet?
If you ever want to buy me I'm not that expensive
Just me alone is $3.7 In bulk I'm $0.29
[100g]
I'm the second most Abundant metal
In the ocean I'm in your body
Where I'm the tenth most Abundant element
And I was called Originally Magnium
I'm also shaped as a hexagon And the eighth most abundant element
Within the earth's crust I burn well in nitrogen
And carbon dioxide As long as it's pure
I was thought of to be the same as calcium I can also shorten your migraine
You also need to me to be of good health That's the end of my song
Go have a nice day~
