I'm pretty sure it is silvery (metallic white/grey) in appearance, but does burn at high temperatures. It burns a very bright white and is used in fireworks
Magnesium can burn in the absence of elemental oxygen, yes. This is because it is such a strong reducing agent that it can essentially steal oxygen from substances such as water and carbon dioxide.
Burning magnesium will result in a brilliant white light.
Sodium, Potassium, and Phosphorus all burn upon contact with air.
l love science its magnesium
Many. Especially if in powder form and humidity + air present. Examples: Nickel, copper, zinc - easily Aluminum, magnesium have passivating layer, but with strong heating they will burn violently
beryllium is a metal similar in colour and appearance to magnesium.
Don't eat magnesium (metal) it will 'burn' inside your (acidical) stomach, so its very dangerous!
burns very hot with a bright white glowing flame
Metals are not decomposed by heating. Some metals burn, as magnesium.

Magnesium can burn in nitrogen due to the high temperature it reaches during combustion. This heat allows the magnesium to react with nitrogen forming magnesium nitride. This reaction is exothermic and produces enough energy to sustain the burning of magnesium in a nitrogen environment.

Magnesium burns well underwater. Anything will burn underwater if it has a proper amount of oxidizing material.
Burn a piece of magnesium (just did an assessment on that)
