magnesium is neather a metal nor a non metal. instead it was discovered on the moon in 1899 on the first space walk. since then it has been used to build flame resistant bridges and the 2010 aero sun probe.

What is the metal which reacts oxygen to form magnesium oxide?
Magnesium is the metal which reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide.
What is an alkaline oxide?
Any metal oxide, for example magnesium oxide.
Does Magnesium oxide have ionic or covalent bond or has it polar or non-polar bonding?
Magnesium oxide has ionic bonds between magnesium and oxide ions.
Is magnesium metal non-metal or metalloid?
Magnesium is a metal
What is the common name for MgO?
Magnesium Oxide
Magnesium oxide ionic or molecular?
Magnesium oxide, or MgO, is an ionic compound: the result of a metal reacting with a non-metal.
When magnesium burns is it a metal or a non metal?
Magnesium is a metal when we say burning of magnesium it means formation of its oxide with liberation of heat and light.
Is magnesium a metal or a non-metal when it has reacted with oxygen?
When magnesium has reacted with oxygen, it form a white powder which is neither metal nor non-metal, but is a compound. This is also known as a metal oxide.
What is the metal which reacts oxygen to form magnesium oxide?
Magnesium is the metal which reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide.
Is magnesium a metal or a non-metal after it is burned?
Magnesium is a metal. When it burns it forms compounds, to which the terms metal and nonmetal are generally not applied.
Is magnesium still a metal after it has been burnt?
After burning it is converted into Magnesium oxide which is a metallic oxide not a metal.
Is magnesium oxide a metal?
No. It is a compound of a metal and a nonmetal. Magnesium on its own is a metal.
Is MgO an ionic bond?
Yes, magnesium oxide is ioinic, as it consists of a metal ion reacting with a non-metal ion.
What is an example of reductionism?
The reaction between magnesium oxide and carbon at 2000C to form magnesium metal and carbon monoxide is an example of the reduction of magnesium oxide to magnesium metal.
What is an alkaline oxide?
Any metal oxide, for example magnesium oxide.
When magnesium metal is burned in the presence of oxygen magnesium oxide are different than the individual properties of magnesium and oxygen because magnesium oxide is?
It is a compound.
Does Magnesium oxide have ionic or covalent bond or has it polar or non-polar bonding?
Magnesium oxide has ionic bonds between magnesium and oxide ions.
