Magnesium oxide doesn't exist in gaseous form. It occurs naturally in mineral form - as periclase. In refined form - it is a white solid

Does magnesium react?

Magnesium reacts with steam faster than cold water because magnesium needs to burn to get magnesium oxide and to get magnesium oxide there has to be heat and since steam is already heated it doesn't need much time, but the cold water needs time to heat first to react.
