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.

∙ 12y agoIt is a chemical change.Burning magnesium changes magnesium to magnesium oxide.This process is known as oxidation which is a chemical change.
Its is a chemical change cuz in oxidation a chemical reaction takes place
(magnesium ---> magnesium oxide).
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThis is chemical: magnesium is turned into magnesium oxide by burning reaction with oxygen (from air).
2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoIt is a chemical change as new products are formed as can be seen from the equation:
2Mg(s) + O2(g) ----> 2MgO(s)
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoMagnesium is not a change of any sort. It is a metallic element that can undergo both physical an chemical changes.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes. Burning anything is a chemical change as magnesium is converted to magnesium oxide.
