- First Born by Sir Humphry Davy
- Born in 1808
3Physical Description
- Magnesium is a metal, it is actually an
alkali-earth metal! - Little Mag, has 12 protons, 12 neutrons, and 12
electrons - Mg
4Properties
- Melting point 650 degrees Celsius
- Boiling point 1090 degrees Celsius
- Specific heat 1.05 kJ
- Density at 239K 1.738g/cm3
5Chemical Properties
- 2 valence electrons
- Oxidation number 2
- Reactivity highly reactive
- Magnesium nitrate, Magnesium methoxide and
Magnesium fluoride, are compounds of magnesium
6Positives and negatives
- Magnesium, when burned, produces a bright light,
so if you are trapped in a dark cave, and have
magnesium to burn, you will have light, however,
it burns really fast, so the light will not last
long. - Low amounts of magnesium in blood can cause
health issues.

22Beryllium
- Chemical Description
- The Valence number is 2
- Ion is positive 2
- Maximum oxidation number is 2
- Minimum oxidation number is 0
- There is no reaction between Beryllium and water
or steam (including when at a red hot).
23Beryllium
- Beryllium has positive attributes such as being
used in nuclear reactor to absorb neutrons. It is
being used in radiation windows for x-ray tubes.
The element also is under research to find out if
it could be used as a new mental to construct
aircrafts because of it being so light-weight. - The negative attributes include the fact that
- beryllium and its salts are poisonous and
- carcinogenic.
24Calcium
- Parent
- The first discoverer of this element were the
Romans - Birth Place and Date
- Sir Humphry Davy was the first to declare Calcium
as a metal in 1808 A.D. - Gender
- Calcium is a metal under the group of Alkaline
Earth Metals.
25Calcium
- Number of Protons 20
- Number of Electrons 20
- Density 1.55 g/cm3
- Melting Point 842 C

26Calcium
- Chemical Description
- The Valence Number is 2
- Ion is positive 2
- Oxidation States is 2
- Calcium can react with water to make calcium
Hydroxide.
27Calcium
- Calcium has positive attributes such as getting
rid of sulfur, carbon, and oxygen from alloys. It
is also an important aspect to the water we
drink. Without this element there would not be
the removal of arsenic and animal waste in
drinking water. - A negative attribute to calcium would be if
someone has taken in a lot of calcium more than
needed, remaining calcium can be created into
kidney stones.
