Rather than to give a simple number as answer, I suggest to look up Magnesium on wikipedia, where you will even find a picture with the electron configuration. (And this method can be applied to answer the same question for any other element.)
You look at trends. An element is likely to have properties somewhere between the element above it and the element below it; if there's nothing below it (or above it), then you can follow the general trend up (or down) that column and extrapolate.
Magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium have similar properties to beryllium. All the elements in group two of the periodic table have the same or similar properties. This is because they have the same number of electrons in their outermost shell.
magnesium looks like gold bars but it is grayish sliver
physical prop: melts in the hand (about 32 degrees celsius chemical prop: Makes alloy with aluminum
All you have to do is look at which group Beryllium is in and look at the other elements that are in the same column. The gruop of an element can help you determine its chemical properties. That group would be Group 2 with Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium, and Radium.
In the same column.
After burning in air, magnesium will form white magnesium oxide powder, which is the result of the reaction of magnesium with oxygen.

Does it look like i no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, burning magnesium is a chemical change because it involves a chemical reaction where the magnesium combines with oxygen in the air to form magnesium oxide. This results in the formation of new substances with different chemical properties.
it is colorless
They look like any normal particle, only seen when magnified but even then you can't really describe it.

To find an element that is similar to another element, look in the periodic table and find an element in the same column (group/family) as the element of interest. Usually, elements within the same group/family have very similar properties.
