A refractometer is an instrument used to measure the refractive index of gases, liquids, and translucent solids like gemstones. Liquids are tested for things such as blood proteins, salinity, fluid concentrations, and specific gravity of urine.
Answer: The property of magnesium that is exhibited by it is DUCTILITY. The correct option is A.
Explanation:
Magnesium is a member of the alkaline earth metals. It occurs in nature, only in the combined state, as Epsom salt, dolomite and in many trioxosilicates( IV) including talc and asbestos. They have the following physical properties:
--> Appearance: they are silvery-white solids
--> Relative density: It has a relative density of 1.74
--> DUCTILITY: it's very ductile in nature
--> melting point: it has a melting point of 660°C.
--> Conductivity: They are good conductor of heat and electricity.
Furthermore, DUCTILITY is the physical property of a metal associated with the ability to be hammered thin or stretched into wire without breaking. A metal such as magnesium can therefore be coiled as a thin ribbon without fracturing due to its ductile physical properties.
During physical changes, matter always retains its chemical properties.
