Magnesium is a mineral that is required by every cell of your body. At least half of the magnesium in your body is found in combination with calcium and phosphorus in your bones. The other half of your body's magnesium stores are found inside cells of body tissues and organs. About 1% of the magnesium in your body is found in your blood. Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical actions in your body that control muscle contraction, nerve function, heartbeat, energy production, and protein synthesis.

look it up on any periodic table - like the one linked below... good luck!

The current way would be ion chromatography.  There are older less reliable methods.  You test for the calcium separate form the anions.  The calcium can also be donw by ICP or AA.

how far it is from the edge of the periodic table. i.e., Francium has a charge of -1 because to get it to the noble gases it has to gain an electron. on the other hand, lithium would need to lose an electron to make it happy, giving it a charge of +1. Same concept for all elements.exclude scandium's period thru zinc's, as they are very different. Carbon's group is able to go either way, as it is equidistant from the noble gases. email me if you have any more questions.

Calcium is essential in muscle contraction, oocyte activation, building strong bones and teeth, blood clotting, nerve impulse transmission, regulating heartbeat, and fluid balance within cells. In the U.S., between about 50% and 75% of adults do not get sufficient calcium in their diet. Adults need between 1,000 and 1,300 mg of calcium in their daily diet.

Calcium phosphate: 13 atoms (3 Ca, 2 P, 8 O)\n4 Aluminum Carbonate molecules: 56 atoms: (36 O, 12 C, 8 Al)\nLead Nitrate: 9 atoms (1 Pb, 2 N, 6 O)\nThe Or threw me off on on this one.  I'm assuming it's Cr.  If it is it would be-\n2 Ammonium Dichromate molecules: 38 atom (4 N, 16 H, 4 Cr, 14 O).\nIf you are adding all the atoms for all the molecules together you get 116 atoms.

Tin is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Sn (L. Stannum) and atomic number 50. This silvery, malleable POOR METAL that is not easily oxidized in air and resists corrosion, is found in many alloys and is used to coat other metals to prevent corrosion. Tin is obtained chiefly from the mineral cassiterite, where it occurs as an oxide.

The Periodic Table of Elements organizes all the elements known to man. There are certain characteristics of each elements that they are grouped by. For example, the last column on the right is called the "Noble Gasses" becase they are all gasses in their natural state, and they're atoms have every electron in each orbital making them the most stable elements.

Calcium\nCalcium is one of the most important minerals for the growth, maintenance, and reproduction of the human body. Calcium is essential for the formation of and maintenance of healthy teeth and bones.\n\nThe bones incorporate calcium into their structure. Like other tissues in the body, bones are continually being reabsorbed and re-formed. Teeth incorporate calcium in their structure in a manner similar to bones.\n\nCalcium has other functions in addition to maintaining healthy teeth and bones. Blood coagulation, transmission of nerve impulses, muscle contraction and relaxation, normal heartbeat, stimulation of hormone secretion, activation of enzyme reactions, as well as other functions all require small amounts of calcium.\nPhosphorous\nThe main function of phosphorus is in the formation of bones and teeth. It plays an important role in the body's utilization of carbohydrates and fats and in the synthesis of protein for the growth, maintenance, and repair of cells and tissues. It is also crucial for the production of ATP, a molecule the body uses to store energy.\n\nPhosphorus works with the B vitamins. It also assists in the contraction of muscles, in the functioning of kidneys, in maintaining the regularity of the heartbeat, and in nerve conduction.\nNitrogen\n79% of the air around us is nitrogen . Living things need nitrogen to make proteins, but they cannot get it directly from the air because nitrogen gas is too stable to react inside an organism to make new compounds. \n\nSo nitrogen must be changed into a more reactive form to allow plants and animals to use it. Plants can take up and use nitrogen when it is in the form of nitrates or ammonium salts. Changing nitrogen into a more reactive substance is called nitrogen fixation. \n\nNitrogen fixation happens in three different ways:\n\nThe energy in a lightning bolt can split the di-atomic nitrogen molecule in the air allowing each nitrogen atom to react with oxygen to form nitrogen oxides. These oxides are washed to the ground by the rain where they form nitrates.\n\n\nThe Haber process is used by industry to produce ammonia from nitrogen. Ammonia is used to make fertiliser for farmers to feed their crops.\n\n\nNitrogen-fixing bacteria found in the soil and in the root nodules of leguminous plants fix nitrogen into a usable form.\n\n\nNitrogen compounds are returned to the soil by excretion and egestion from animals or when plants and animals die and decay. The nitrogen compounds returned in this way are changed back to nitrogen gas by denitrifying bacteria which live in the soil - thus completing the cycle.

Hydrogen is not in a group with other families. It actually is in group 1 of the periodic table. It is a diatomic atom when it combines with other elements.

No. Look at the periodic chart, also called the table of elements. Its even in the dictionary. So is alkaline. Finding that would have been easier than going to Yahoo answers, had you tried.
