Why does magnesium stay a solid over a long period of time?

Magnesium Mg is an element with a boiling point of 650 degree Celsius. The state of metals at room temperature depends on the bonds known as molecular bonds. Magnesium has a high molecular bond.

The basics of why things are in the state they are in, depends on what kinds of intermolecular bonds are present. Magnesium has ionic bonds present as one of the types of intermolecular bonds. Since ionic bonds are very strong they require a lot of energy to break them - because of this Magnesium is likely to stay solid over a long period of time :)

At room temperature, magnesium (Mg) is a solid. Elements such as Mg that are solids at room temperature have very strong intermolecular forces that keep them in the solid state. To shift from a liquid or gas requires energy, and Mg doesn’t have the energy —at room temperature— to break those intermolecular forces.

Magnesium is a metal with a melting point of 1,202 Fahrenheit. So it will stay solid at the room temperature unless heated above the threshold if 1,202 Fahrenheit.

Study smarter, learn faster without working harder

I spent a lot of my class time in secondary school being bored and restless. I was NOT a model student. Sitting in a class was always so boring to me. Then I discovered fun ways of making the lessons interesting when I attended the Mind Olympics in Earls Court. The 'mind athletes' at this event learned how to use their brains like a musical instrument. Learning and memorising facts easily like picking up feathers. Ever since that time I have been learning many subjects and showing other students how to enjoy their subjects while find better ways to get the results they want.

"Fail to prepare, prepare to fail"

I studied at Ampleforth College in North Yorkshire. Here I spent 5 years as a Maths Tutor to my peers and those younger than me. Since then I have privately tutor a variety of subjects from Maths, English, Science, Economics, and much more. This experience has made me adept at interacting with and communicating clearly to those whom I teach. I have experience with AQA, Edexcel, iGCSE and OCR examination boards. I have recently received my MSc in Mental Health & Law from King’s College London (Pass with Merit); and before this a First Class Honours in Philosophy BA. I know exactly what it takes to get a head start in the subjects I tutor. In addition, I have experience teaching children with SEN. GCSE results: -4 a*s -7 a's A-Level results: -Economics-A -Government and Politics-A -Math-A

Experienced tutor with 5+ years teaching in Maths, Chemistry and Physics

In 2021, my A-Level students achieved A* and A in Maths, and B's in Chemistry. My previous students have each gone on to Cardiff Uni (Neuroscience), UCL (Economics and Politics), Willis Towers Watson (Actuary Apprenticeship), Nottingham (Mechanical Engineering), Southampton (Chemistry) and Bath (Architecture). Two of my students achieved 9's in GCSE Maths and Sciences and one who got 4's and 5's in his Foundation Maths and Science exams. I've just started my 5th year of private tutoring, and my 3rd year of full-time teaching! And I can honestly say, I still love it. For me it's not just about academia (a good grade alone won't get your that job), it's also about the skills you need towards your future. Communicating properly, managing stress and pressure, taking charge of YOUR education and YOUR future. I can help you get there!
