Can magnesium bond with hydrogen? If yes, how?

Magnesium can ionically bond with Hydrogen to form magnesium hydride (MgH2). This works by the magnesium donating two electrons to the hydrogen atoms who accepted them to form a hydride. You will record that hydrogen only has only one electron and can either donate or accept an electron, which will make it stable.

at the same time as a chemical substitute takes position (as in a chemical reaction) bonds are damaged and then reformed in a diverse configuration. reckoning at this variety of bonds, this signifies that electrons will be shared or transfered between atoms at the same time as the hot bonds form.

i don't think metals can react with hydrogen with out the presence another substance like silicate, sulfate etc "magnesium silicate, magnesium sulfate hexahydrate" bla bla..
