Magnesium does oxidize. That is why magnesium is often found on earth with a thin layer of Magnesium Oxide (MgO). For this reason when using magnesium in experiments you must always sand it to remove the oxide layer.
No. Magnesium is a reducing element; it anything it will remove oxygen from an environment.
Magnesium can bond with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. Magnesium can also bond with chloride and that will create magnesium dichloride.

What happens when magnesium burns? What do you need for magnesium to burn? Will magnesium burn if you have it in a closed container? No. Why not? It needs air. Why does it need air? There is oxygen in the air. Magnesium needs oxygen to burn. So, when magnesium burns, you start with magnesium and end up with a compound that contains both magnesium and oxygen. Magnesium has an atomic weight of 24. Oxygen has an atomic weight of 16. So if you start out with 24 grams of Magnesium you should end up with 40 grams of Magnesium Oxide.
Magnesium oxide. It's produced by magnesium reacting with oxygen.
Magnesium reacts with oxygen to create magnesium oxide. Magnesium(Mg)+Oxygen(O2)--------> magnesium oxide(MgO) 2Mg+O2 ------>2 MgO
The reaction of magnesium and oxygen happens with the help of heat enery. There are two magnesium particles and two oxygen particles these then join together to create two magnesium oxide compounds.
Magnesium can bond with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. Magnesium can also bond with chloride and that will create magnesium dichloride.
The magnesium has 2 valence electron while the oxygen misses 2 electron to complete its octet. An atom is always more stable when it has 8 valence electrons. The magnesium will create an ionic bond with the oxygen by giving its 2 electrons to form Magnesium Oxide, MgO.
The compound formed by magnesium and oxygen is called magnesium oxide.
No, magnesium oxide consists of positive magnesium ions (Mg2+) and negative oxide (O2-) ions. It is a white powder. Magnesium and oxygen are to separate substances. Magnesium consists of neutral magnesium atoms (Mg). It is a silvery metal. Oxygen consists of neutral oxygen molecules (O2) it is a colorless gas.

Magnesium reacts violently with oxygen to make Magnesium Oxide
If you heat magnesium and oxygen together then you will make MgO or Magnesium oxide.
Magnesium and Oxygen equals Magnesium Oxide (2MgO) 2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO
Magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide (MgO).
magnesium and oxygen are elements. They are not compounds
