Sodium has a lower ionization energy than magnesium describes why sodium reacts vigorously than magnesium chloride.
<h3>Why is sodium more reactive than magnesium?</h3>
- Sodium is more reactive than magnesium because it has the ability to easily lose electron, hence have lower ionization energy.
- Sodium belong to group one on the periodic table and they are called akali metal while magnesium belong to group two on the periodic table and they are called alkali Earth metal.
- Sodium and magnesium belong to the in the 3rd period. Iin the outermost energy level sodium has one electron but magnesium has 2 electrons. Therefore, there is more attraction abetween the nucleus and electrons in magnesium than that of sodium.
Therefore, sodium is more reactive than magnesium chloride because of lower ionization energy.

<span>An ingot of elemental silver will have a silvery-white color. In fact silver is said to be the "whitest" of all metals. If it is to be grind , the silver up into smaller and smaller particles, the silver will appear progressively grayer or darker. This is because smaller particles become less effective at reflecting light and produce more scattering</span>
