• A light silver-white metallic element, malleable and ductile, quite permanent in dry air but tarnishing in moist air. It burns, forming (the oxide) magnesia, with the production of a blinding light (the so-called magnesium light) which is used in signaling, in pyrotechny, or in photography where a strong actinic illuminant is required. Its compounds occur abundantly, as in dolomite, talc, meerschaum, etc. Symbol Mg. Atomic weight, 24.4. Specific gravity, 1.75.

  cahaya silver white unsur logam, mudah dibentuk dan lentur, cukup permanen di kering udara lembab tapi tarnishing di udara. it luka bakar, membentuk (the oksida) magnesia, dengan produksi cahaya membutakan (the so called aku magnesium cahaya/ aku) yang digunakan dalam memberi tanda, dalam pyrotechny, atau di mana fotografi yang kuat actinic illuminant diperlukan. senyawa yang terjadi dengan berlimpah, seperti dalam dolomit, talc, meerschaum, dll. simbol mg. berat atom, 24. 4. spesifik gravitasi, 1. 75.
