@aaronq

aaronq · Answer

Mg is not a transition element (transition elements need to have d electrons)

hm do you know what definition they're using for "metallic"?

aaronq · Answer

Mg (in it's elemental state) would be more metallic because it has metallic bonding (which allows it to have metal like properties e.g. it's a conductor, it's malleable, etc) while MgO has ionic bonding in which the electrons are "trapped" and unable to flow freely as they make up the bond.
