What kind of chemical reaction is the burning of magnesium in oxygen?
it is the oxidation of Magnesium into Magnesium oxide which appears as a white powder.That is classified as a redox reaction, a term which is a contraction of reduction-oxidation. The magnesium is oxidized and the oxygen is reduced. The terms refer to the transfer of electrons. Electrons have a negative charge, so a recipient of electrons, such as oxygen is reduced in the sense that its charge becomes negative.
What does the term magnesium deficiency mean?
Magnesium deficiency means that the intake of magnesium by the body is lacking. Common symptoms of this include dizziness, muscle crams, weakness, and fatigue.
What term can be used to describe evolution by natural?
The term that is often incorrectly used to describe evolution by natural selection is "survival of the fittest."
What is the real term for laughing gas?
It is called nitrous oxide which is normally called "laughing gas"
What vitamin deficiency is associated with alzheimers?
Studies have shown that there is a correlation between magnesium deficiency and memory loss. A study done last year by some researchers in MIT stated that Magnesium l-threonate helped with increasing short term and long term memory capacity.
What type of chemical reaction is magnesium oxide?
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.
What term is used to describe the unreacted lead oxide?
residue?
Why does sulphur plus oxygen use the term dioxide for oxygen but magnesium plus oxygen uses the term oxide. Is it because Mg is a metal?
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.
What is the definition of mafic?
Mafic is a term used to describe an igneous rock that is usually dark in color, with a chemistry that may be high in magnesium and iron, like basalt. Mafic is also a term used to describe a type of magma that is high in calcium, magnesium and iron, and relatively low in silica, compared to felsic magma.
When nitrous oxide is converted to nitrogen and oxygen what is the term used to describe the oxygen atoms formed?
nascent oxygen molecular oxygen product

What is the ionic compound of Fe2O3?
Iron (III) Oxide ( or, the older term, Ferric Oxide )
What is the chemical formla for iron oxide?
Iron oxide is too general a term. The formula for Iron (II) Oxide is FeO and the formula of Iron (III) Oxide is Fe2O3
is the oxide that is formed in silver an acid or a base?
- This is not an oxide, is a sulfide.- The term pH is applied to liquids.
What is a familiar term for nitrous oxide?
laughing gas!
What is the lay term for chemical nitrous oxide?
rust
Is aluminum oxide an element?
No, aluminum oxide is not an element. Indeed, nothing called an "oxide" can be an element, as this term indicates that the substance is combined with oxygen and is therefore a compound, not an element.
