not sure if that's it, i thought it was a compound, but no mater. Magnisium is fun stuff, when it catches on fire you CAN NOT put it out. it is it's oun fire triangle, it generates it's oun heat, and oxygen. and since it is the fuel too, you can't eliminate any sides of the triangle, there for, it won't go out until the mag. is all gone. jet rims are made of magnisium (car wheel used to be, which is we sometimes call 'em "mags") and if a jet catches fire on the ship, and the rims flame up, guess what happens to that $3 BILLION fighter jet? Yup, we "jetison" it. or in laymans terms, throw it over the side, by by. I saw one on a training vidio that burned (underwater) for more than an hour at about 5000 degres. if you've ever seen an ocean boil at about 1/2 mile deep you know what i mean. THAT was awesome. just glad i wasn't the guy responsible for the fire.

Your right Magnesium is very hard to put out once it starts burning. A solid piece of magnesium is also rather hard to ignite. Much easier if its cut into small strips and you try to ignite it at one end. In powder form it very explosive.

A solid peice of potassium is covered with white oxidization. With a solid peice of potassium, all you have to do is drop it in some water and it will flare up an dance around as it recats with the water. At the end once its done it gives a little 'pop'. I think the 'pop' is from the last bit of hydrogen. In school we used to though a small peice into the shower of the locker room while the showers were being used. Ya I know, but to school boys it was funny at the time.
