Mg is an alkaline earth metal, not an alkali metal. :). Still have zero desire whatsoever to eat elemental Mg.

Yeah, the only reason I replied was because you were responding to the calcium dude above, then said "s-block". Just wanted to spread the good word of the 9th-most abundant element in the universe 🙏
