Magnesium aluminide is an intermetallic compound of magnesium and aluminium. Common phases (molecular structures) include the beta phase (Mg2Al3) and the gamma phase (Mg17Al12), which both have cubic crystal structures. Magnesium aluminides are important constituents of 5XXX aluminium alloys (aluminium-magnesium) and magnesium-aluminium alloys, determining many of their engineering properties. Due to the advantage of low density and being strong, magnesium aluminide is important for aircraft engines. MgAl has also been investigated for use as a reactant to produce metal hydrides in hydrogen storage technology. Like many intermetallics, MgAl compounds often have unusual stoichiometries with large and complex unit cells. (Wikipedia).

Magnesium is reactive enough to use water as a fuel in its combustion, so water does not put out a Mg fire, but fuels it. https://www.reddit.com/r/ExplosionsAndFire/

Making Magnesium Silicide and Explosive Silane Gas
Warning: this experiment is dangerous and possibly explosive. Proper care must be taken. Magnesium silicide reacts with HCl to produce silane gas. Silane gas is pyrophoric, which means that it spontaneously combusts in contact with air at temperatures below 54C. The silane gas erupts into

3 Mechanisms for Magnesium Deficiency
Over 45% of the US population is deficient in magnesium due to: 1. Decreased consumption of green chlorophyll-containing vegetables, 2. Decreased absorption, 3. Increased excretion. Some magnesium supplements have better magnesium bioavailability than others. ▶︎ See part I on Magnesium
