Magnesium is a metal because it displays the properties of metals. These properties are displayed below:
1.) Magnesium is shiny.
2.) Magnesium is malleable and ductile.
3.) Magnesium has a relatively high melting/boiling point.
4.) Magnesium is hard.
Furthermore, magnesium is placed in group II which is towards the left side of the Periodic Table. Elements placed towards the left side of the periodic table are metals. The metallic properties of elements decreases from left to right.

Neon is a non-metal because it is a noble gas located in group 18 of the periodic table with a full valence shell of electrons, making it stable and unreactive.
