The compound formed by magnesium and oxygen is called magnesium oxide.
MgO, because both magnesium and oxygen are most often divalent.
Magnesium oxide is classified as a compound because it is composed of two different elements, magnesium and oxygen, chemically bonded. The formula unit for magnesium oxide is MgO.
The cation,Mg 2+andthe anion,O 2-combine to form,MgO------------------magnesium oxide

The answer is in the question. Magnesium is an element, so is oxygen, together they can form MgO, a compound, as compounds are multi atomic structures, like Iron Oxide, another rust just like MgO.
The compound formula formed between magnesium and oxygen leads to the formation of magnesium oxide.The reaction for the above reaction can be represented as :2Mg(s) + O2(g) 2MgO(s)
No. MgO is a compound called magnesium oxide. It is composed of two elements: magnesium and oxygen.Hint: if the chemical formula contains more than one capital latter than the substance is not an element.
No. Magnesium sulphate is a compound containing magnesium, sulfur and oxygen, with the formula MgSO4. Borax is a compound containing Boron. Borax is generally described as Na2B4O7·10H2O
No, it is a compound, not a mixture. Its formula is MgO, and it contains Magnesium and Oxygen (two fairly common elements).
Millions of organic compounds contain carbon, oxygen and hydrogen !
