When Magnesium come in contact with a direct flame it will create a blinding light.
If you are in school and your question is how will the partciles change, ask the question - In what way would the arrangement of the partciles change if magnesium is heated?

What type of chemical reaction takes place when magnesium wire is heated?
When magnesium metal wire is heated in open air, an oxidation-reduction reaction takes place between the magnesium and the oxygen in the air. The magnesium is oxidized as the oxygen is reduced. The product of this reaction is magnesium oxide, MgO. Note that this reaction can also be deemed a combustion reaction, which is a specific type of redox reaction which involves the production of heat and sometimes light.
Explain the reaction when magnesium metal is burnt using the Big Idea of Energy?
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.
Is the chemical reaction for the combustion of magnesium endothermic or exothermic?
Exothermic (gives off heat - and light!).
When you heat copper oxide and magnesium why do you get grey powder?
You get a grey powder because magnesium is higher up in the reactivity series than Copper - (magnesium is more reactive than copper) therefore when you heat it up there is a displacement reaction. That grey powder is actully magnesium oxide and copper e.g Copper oxide + magnesium = magnesium oxide and copper.
How does heat affect Hydrochloric Acid and Magnesium?
we were doing an experiment in school and the teacher said when heat is applied to hydrochloric acid and magnesium it often leads to a violent reaction that explodes.
Magnesium reacts with oxygen gas to produce magnesium oxide light and heat this reaction is?
an exothermic combination reaction

Does magnesium and potassium hydroxide cause a reaction?
With the addition of certain catalysts and heat, yes. Be careful.
Is the chemical reaction for the combustion of magnesium endothermic or exothermic?
Exothermic (gives off heat - and light!).
What is the reaction of iron and magnesium sulphate?
Fe + MgSO4 --> FeSO4 + Mg Fe(iron)is more reactive than mg( magnesium) ........ therefore iron will displace magnesium....... hence it is a displacement reaction.............
What is the reaction towards magnesium?
When you heat magnesium it creates a bright white light due to the electrons coming out and jumping and grabbing the white light hurr
Why is putting magnesium in water a chemical change?
Magnesium is highly reactive to water because of the atom's electron arrangement. The products of the reaction are, heat, light, and gas, which are all indicators that they had undergone a chemical reaction.
Is adding magnesium and heat chemical or physical change?
Heating magnesium is a physical process.But the reaction of magnesium with oxygen at high temperature is a chemical process.
What is the bright white light from when you burn magnesium strips?
The bright light is a byproduct of the reaction caused by applying heat to magnesium, causing it to chemically react with oxygen, therefore producing Magnesium Oxide.
When you heat copper oxide and magnesium why do you get grey powder?
You get a grey powder because magnesium is higher up in the reactivity series than Copper - (magnesium is more reactive than copper) therefore when you heat it up there is a displacement reaction. That grey powder is actully magnesium oxide and copper e.g Copper oxide + magnesium = magnesium oxide and copper.
Is magnesium is a chemical reaction?
Magnesium is a chemical element, a solid metal not a reaction.
