Asked by kirsten

why were sodium and magnesium not discovered until recent times?
Answered by DrBob222
I'm sure there are several reasons but one is that they are so reactive that they don't occur naturally; i.e., they occur in their compounds but not in the free state. Therefore, they must be prepared.
