Magnesium Historical and economical importances After the post-war period, DOW produced Magnesium because of it's great characteristics. In World War 1, it was applied to various weapons, such as "Star Shell" Related with Synthesis Several methods can be applied for the synthesis of Magnesium to occurr. The synthesis of Magnesium oxide nanoparticles (example) can be achieved through various approaches including:
green synthesis techniques ultrasonic methods sol-gel process solution combustion method co-precipitation method Mining Can be find in China, Australia, Turkey, Brazil and the USA. Magnesium is obtained by regular and ordinary mines Medical Applications It's used in the Pharmaceutical ambit in treatments for: Can be given in laxatives and antiacids pre-eclampsia Magnesium deficency Indigestion Constipation Magnesium is used in Radiation Therapy to cure specific cancers such as colorectal cancer. It is used in Diagnostic Imaging because of it causing less distortions in magnetic resonances This element is used in many "medical applications", such as:
Pharmaceutical Uses Radiation Therapy Diagnostic Imaging Metallurgy Magnesium is utilized as a reducing agent for: as an additive in alloys in this process. Refractory metals This process plays an important role in many sectors, such as:
Automobiles Aviation Aerospacial Metallurgy: The process of extraction of metal in its purest form.
Isotopes Each type of Isotope has specific and idiosyncratic properties that makes them:
Exploitable in any ambit. Some of this Isotopes can be used in different fields, such as spectroscopy. Magnesium has three Isotopes: 26Mg (11.01% abundance) 25Mg (10% abundance) 24Mg (78.99% abundance) Magnesium's Contribution to Scientific Knowledge Has helped to develop many fields such as Biochemistry, Medicine, Chemistry and Enviroment Importance of Magnesium in Various Fields It's also used in fireworks as it can light sparks Can be also used in Molten State Products that involve Magnesium in it's production are: Power tools Cameras Laptops Luggage Car seats Bonus Facts Global Production Trade Magnetical Properties Abundance and Biological Importance Reactivity and Combustibility Electromagnetic shielding and versatility Strong Light weight Magnesium is and has: Labor practices and conditions in the mining of Magnesium It can also bring fatigue and many air-related diseases Can be also mined with the open-cut method, but it brings many problems They can often cause problems such as worker safety, health hazards and labor right issues. Monopolies USA has globally regulated it's trade It is the 718th most traded product Disputation USA AND EU Dispute with China, they argument they have a control over Magnesium's global production If China wanted, they could stop globally Magnesium's production China owns more than 70% of the world's total Monopoly, making it having a monopoly Importance In Science Without Magnesium, studies wouldn't be advancing so much as Magnesium "brings out the light". It also imporoves Glucose consumption Magnesium is very important as it brings over 300 enzymatic reactions Electronics Magnesium also dispates the heat generated by electronic circuits. It also has good mechanical and electrical properties Magnesium is used to manufacture electronic devices and electronics because of its light weight. Catalysts Definition: Substance that enables chemical reactions to proceed at a usually faster rate or under different conditions. Used in many sectors such as:
Also acts as a reducing agent. Pyrotechnics Production of light alloys Magnesium’s Catalysts Play an important role in catalyzing chemical reactions. Catalyst: A substance that enables chemical reactions to proceed at a usually faster rate or under different conditions.
Magnesium's Electron Configuration, Valence electrons and Reactivity. In other terms: Electron Configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 Reactivity: Very high due to the easily-lost two valence electrons. Valence Electrons: 2 Magnesium's electron configuration:1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 Magnesium's History Was found through a mixture involving Magnesium Oxide Discovered in Thessaly (Greece) It was discovered by Humphry Davy and Joseph Black (Both Chemists) Magnesium's Overview Boiling and Melting Point Melting point! 650 Degrees Celsius Boiling Point: 1107 Degrees Celsius General Properties 12 Neutrons 12.305 electrons 12 Protons It's atomic weight is 24.312 Magnesium's Oxidation state is +2 It has a Low Density Has Low Melting Point Atomic number: 12 Has the symbol MG Magnsium is a chemical element
