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.

Magnesium compounds are used medicinally as common laxatives, antacids (e.g., milk of magnesia), and to stabilize abnormal nerve excitation or blood vessel spasm such as in eclampsia.Magnesium ions are sour to the taste, and in low concentrations they help impart a natural tartness to fresh mineral waters.Magnesium is the metallic ion at the center of chlorophyll, and is a common additive to fertilizers.agnesium ions are sour to the taste, and in low concentrations they help impart a natural tartness to fresh mineral waters.
