Milk of magnesia is of which nature?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Mildly basic

The governing concept is the basic nature of magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)₂. Milk of magnesia is a suspension of this sparingly soluble base in water. It can react with and neutralise excess hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which is why it is used as an antacid. Therefore, option A is correct. It is not a strong acid, a gas, or simply a metallic substance; those descriptions do not represent its chemical nature.
