Why is magnesium malleable?

It is an Alkaline Earth Metal

Explanation:

Metallic bonding results from the delocalization of electrons from the parent metal atom so that positive ions are conceived to swim in a sea of electrons. This view of metallic bonding accounts for the malleability, and ductility of metals, as well as their properties of thermal and electrical conduction.

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
