CAS Number: 7439-95-4. A lightweight, silver-white, malleable
metallic element that occurs abundantly in nature and is used
in metallurgical and chemical processes, in photography,
signaling, and pyrotechnics because of the intense white light
it produces on burning, and in construction especially in the
form of light alloys. Chemical symbol = Mg. Molecular weight =
24.305 g/mol.
