We represent the particles (atoms) in magnesium metal as spheres stacked closely together. Magnesium burns when these particles react with the oxygen particles in the surrounding air. The oxygen particles are represented as molecules consisting of two oxygen atoms bonded together. We represent this as two spheres pressed together.
The product of the reaction is magnesium oxide and we represent this by joining one of the oxygen spheres to one of the magnesium spheres.
What else can I help you with?
Does magnesium turn into a metal when burnt?
No, magnesium is already a metal. When burnt, magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide, releasing a bright white light in the process.
What is the word equation for when magnesium is burnt?
When magnesium is burnt, it reacts with oxygen to produce magnesium oxide. The word equation for this reaction is: magnesium + oxygen → magnesium oxide.
What is the appearance of magnesium when burnt in air?
Magnesium burns with an intensely bright white light and forms magnesium oxide. Magnesium oxide is a white solid, often a powder. Do not look directly at burning magnesium - it may damage your eyes.
What compound is formed when magnesium is burnt?
Magnesium oxide (MgO) is formed. When a piece of magnesium ribbon is burnt it reacts with oxygen in air according to the chemical equation: 2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s) The magnesium burns in a bright white light and the resulting magnesium oxide is in the form of a white powder.
What reaction is it when magnesium is burnt in air?
When magnesium is burnt in air, it undergoes a combustion reaction, producing magnesium oxide (MgO) and releasing a bright white light. This reaction is highly exothermic, meaning it releases a large amount of heat energy.
Does magnesium turn into a metal when burnt?
No, magnesium is already a metal. When burnt, magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide, releasing a bright white light in the process.
What do burnt plants look like?
it looks like burnt dust

Does magnesium's weight increase when it is burnt?
If it is burnt with a gas such as oxygen then yes
What is form instead when magnesium is burnt in air?
It forms magnesium oxide. :)
How many products formed when magnesium burnt?
One - Magnesium Oxide (MgO)
What comes when magnesium ribbon is burnt?
a bright light is created and it then creates magnesium oxide
What happen to the original magnesium after it has been burned?
If completely burnt (in excess of oxygen), all the magnesium will be converted to magnesium oxide.
What does magnesium react with when burnt?
Oxygen in the air (O2)
