Magnesium Oxide is a compound, not a reaction. However if you are talking about making magnesium oxide from its individual elements, that would be a redox reaction. In this reaction, magnesium is going from a zero oxidation state to a +2 oxidation state. If you think of the acronym OIL RIG (Oxidation Is Lost Reduction Is Gained) Magnesium is being oxidized as it has lost two electrons. As well, the oxygen is gaining two electrons to have a -2 charge and is therefore being reduced hence the term redox.
Magnesium + oxygen = Magnesium oxide
This question requires more details. Oxidisation is the obvious answer but without a more specific question I cannot help any further.
It is a combination reaction because after oxidation Magnesium becomes Mg+2 ion and combines with oxygen forming the Magnesium oxide MgO.
This is a oxide reaction. It can also been known as a metal oxide or a base.
Magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide.
An OXIDATION reaction
Combustion or oxidation
combustion
combination
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.
Magnesium is converted into Magnesium oxide. 2Mg + O2 -----> 2MgO
yes it is, it is part of the periodic table
Red litmus paper turns blue in basic conditions. the reaction of magnesium with water produces Magnesium Oxide and Hydrogen. Magnesium Oxide (Mg(OH)2) dissolves in water to form an alkaline solution. (Alkalines are a type of base)

When magnesium oxide is burnt in air, an oxidation of the magnesium and reduction of some of the oxygen in the air occurs according to the equation:2 Mg + O2 -> 2 MgO.

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.
This reaction is exothermic.
The magnesium burns readily in air to produce a white ash which is magnesium oxide. This is due to the "oxidation" of the metal.

The reaction is 2Mg + O2 ----> 2MgO Mainly it is a Composition reaction (also called as combination or syntesis reaction). But also catogrised in redox reaction & combution reaction.
MgO is a compound because it has more than one type of element in it, magnesium and oxygen.
Yes. Magnesium oxide is a compound which is a type of pure substance.
