2Mg(s) + O2(g) ==> 2MgOMg ===> Mg^2+ + 2e- [x2 to balance electrons] = oxidation half reaction
O2 + 4e- ===> 2O^2-
So, the final oxidation half reaction will be:
2Mg(s) ===> 2Mg^2+ + 4e-

Why is 2Mg plus O2 equals 2MgO a combustion reaction if there is no carbon or H2O in the equation?
2Mg + O2 --> 2 MgO is a combustion because:it is an oxidation reactionoxygen is involved .... and ....there is a real flame, it looks like (and so used for) fireworkCarbon and water are not essential compounds in combustion reactios.
