When magnesium has reacted with oxygen, it form a white powder which is neither metal nor non-metal, but is a compound. This is also known as a metal oxide.
Magnesium is a metal. When it burns it forms compounds, to which the terms metal and nonmetal are generally not applied.
They were exposed to and reacted with oxygen in the air.
Sodium (metal) reacts with chlorine (nonmetal) to form sodium chloride. Magnesium (metal) reacts with oxygen (nonmetal) to form magnesium oxide. Aluminum (metal) reacts with sulfur (nonmetal) to form aluminum sulfide. Lithium (metal) reacts with nitrogen (nonmetal) to form lithium nitride. Potassium (metal) reacts with fluorine (nonmetal) to form potassium fluoride. Calcium (metal) reacts with phosphorus (nonmetal) to form calcium phosphide. Barium (metal) reacts with iodine (nonmetal) to form barium iodide. Titanium (metal) reacts with carbon (nonmetal) to form titanium carbide. Iron (metal) reacts with chlorine (nonmetal) to form iron(III) chloride. Zinc (metal) reacts with sulfur (nonmetal) to form zinc sulfide.
Oxygen is nonmetal because since oxygen isn't visable it's not solid so oxygen is nonmetal.
Magnesium bromide is a compound and not an element. So question of metal or nonmetal does not arise witch is applied to elements only.
magnesium is neather a metal nor a non metal. instead it was discovered on the moon in 1899 on the first space walk. since then it has been used to build flame resistant bridges and the 2010 aero sun probe.
d magnesium and oxygen. Magnesium is a metal and oxygen is a nonmetal, so they are more likely to form an ionic bond due to the large difference in electronegativity between the two elements. Ionic bonds typically form between a metal and a nonmetal.
Magnesium is a metal
No. It is a compound of a metal and a nonmetal. Magnesium on its own is a metal.
Metal, I believe.
Ionic compounds are compound consisting of a metal plus a nonmetal. The metal and the nonmetal both have charges that you can find on the Periodic Table, and they have to balance each other out. For example, you have MgO (Magnesium Oxide). The magnesium is the metal, the oxygen is the nonmetal, and they both have a charge of +2 and -2, so the subscripts cancel each other out.
Magnesium is a metal. When it burns it forms compounds, to which the terms metal and nonmetal are generally not applied.
Magnesium is a metal. It belongs to group 2.
No. Francium is the most reactive metal. WHY?
Sodium oxide is a compound made up of the metal sodium and the nonmetal oxygen. Sodium is a metal, while oxygen is a nonmetal.
