Magnesium and sulfur are much more likely than nitrogen and oxygen to form an ionic bond, because the difference in electronegativity between sulfur and magnesium is much greater than the difference in electronegativity between nitrogen and oxygen. Another way of phrasing the reason is that magnesium is a metal and sulfur a nonmetal, while nitrogen and oxygen are both nonmetals.
MgO Is magnesium oxide.
You are doing:Magnesium + Oxygen -> Magnesium OxideSo replace the words with symbols to make the equation more advanced:Mg + O2 -> MgOAnd to balance it:2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO
Magnesium nitrate is MgNO3 and there are one magnesium atom one nitrogen atom three oxygen atoms no potassium atoms
magnesium is a purply substance. Although when this substance is burned with oxygen it becomes Magnesium Oxide. This chemical then turns into a black liquidy colour. The word equation for this experiment is: magnesium + Oxygen = Magnesium Oxide

Magnesium, nitrogen and oxygen are mainly what Magnesium nitrate is made up of. The formula is Mg(NO3)2.
magnesium+oxygen = magnesium oxide
magnesium oxide
MgO Is magnesium oxide.
Burning of magnesium (or anything else) requires continuing combination with oxygen. If a burning piece of magnesium is transferred to an atmosphere of nitrogen, no additional magnesium can react with oxygen because none is available for reaction.
WORD EQUATION: Magnesium + Oxygen --> Magnesium oxide SYMBOLS: 2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO
Magnesium + oxygen =magnesium oxide
nitrogen+oxygen->nitogenoxide
The word for which "mg" is an abbreviation is "milligram". The element for which Mg is the symbol is magnesium.
The word equation is magnesium + oxygen(air) = magnesium oxide. The Balanced chemical eq'n is 2Mg(s) + O2(g) = 2MgO(s)
