The compound formed by magnesium and oxygen is called magnesium oxide.
Mg(NO3)2 {note correct case for "O"} is not an element at all. Instead it is a compound of three elements, magnesium, nitrogen, and oxygen.
MgBr2 is MAGNESIUM BROMIDE
The cation,Mg 2+andthe anion,O 2-combine to form,MgO------------------magnesium oxide
The chemical equation is:2 Mg + O2 = 2 MgO
If you heat magnesium and oxygen together then you will make MgO or Magnesium oxide.

MgBr2 is MAGNESIUM BROMIDE
That would be Magnesium Oxide (since a single element cannot decompose) which decomposes into Magnesium and Oxygen. Magnesium Oxide --> Magnesium + Oxygen or the balanced chem. equation: 2MgO --> 2Mg + 02
Magnesium sulfide.

The chemical equation is:2 Mg + O2 = 2 MgO
Epsom Salt, or magnesium sulfate.
I answered this question. It is indeed because Mg is a metal. Ionic compounds (those with a metal) do not get a prefix, molecular compounds (those without a metal) do.
The correct answer is Magnesium Sulfide
Magnesium and oxygen as in magnesium oxide
Magnesium reacts violently with oxygen to make Magnesium Oxide
If you heat magnesium and oxygen together then you will make MgO or Magnesium oxide.
