This reaction is exothermic.
Heating magnesium is a physical process.But the reaction of magnesium with oxygen at high temperature is a chemical process.
Magnesium is a chemical element, a solid metal not a reaction.
Magnesium is highly reactive to water because of the atom's electron arrangement. The products of the reaction are, heat, light, and gas, which are all indicators that they had undergone a chemical reaction.
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.
This reaction is exothermic.
This is a chemical change, like any other burning reaction: magnesium is turned into magnesium oxide by burning reaction with oxygen (from air). 2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO

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.
combination
Yes, the combustion of magnesium, or anything else for that matter, represents a chemical change. For magnesium, the combustion reaction results in the loss of magnesium and the production of magnesium oxide. Clearly a chemical change.

Burning magnesium (or burning anything) can be described as a chemical reaction, or as a chemical change. It is not a property. However, the capacity of being able to burn, also known as flammability, is a chemical property.
This is a chemical change. The reaction is: Mg + O ---> MgO
Yes. Because there is a chemical change
During burning magnesium is transformed in magnesium oxide - a chemical reaction:2 Mg + O2 = 2 MgO
Magnesium is converted into Magnesium oxide. 2Mg + O2 -----> 2MgO
