One meter is a length measurement, equal to 3.28 feet. You can test this using a meter stick and 1 foot (12 inch) rulers. Lay the meter stick on the ground, and place the rulers end-to-end next to it. Three rulers (3 feet) will almost be as long as the meter stick.
Characteristics: Uses: Magnesium is a silvery-white, low density, reasonably strong metal that tarnishes in air to form a thin oxide coating. Magnesium and its alloys have very good corrosion resistance and good high temperature mechanical properties.The metal reacts with water to produce hydrogen gas.When it burns in air, magnesium produces a brilliant white light. The brilliant light it produces when ignited is made use of in photography, flares, pyrotechnics and incendiary bombs.agnesium and its alloys have very good corrosion resistance and good high temperature mechanical properties.

A small piece of magnesium. Magnesium as a metal is silver-white and lightweight. It is pictured here in a stick, but it also comes in powder form. Surprisingly, it can be bought by the average person, usually for medical reasons.agnesium as a pure metal is not found in nature, but it is very common as an ion in various compounds. Magnesium is very common on earth and in seawater. Magnesium can be found in green vegetables, especially darker green ones. This is because chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants, contains magnesium.
