Magnesium metal is very malleable, and is able to be pounded

Magnesium metal is very malleable, and is able to be pounded and stretched into long, thin, narrow "ribbons" that are often used in the introductory chemistry lab as a source of the metal. If a strip of magnesium ribbon is ignited in a Bunsen burner flame, the magnesium burns brightly and produces a quantity of white magnesium oxide powder. From the information given above, indicate one chemical property of magnesium metal. Magnesium "ribbons" are often used in the introductory chemistry lab as a source of the metal. Magnesium is malleable. Magnesium is able to be pounded and stretched into long, thin, narrow "ribbons". Magnesium burns in air.
