they burn and sometime change colour or state, but they do this at a higher teperature
Typically when a metal 'burns', what is happening is that it is getting hot enough for it to react and form a bond with the oxygen in the atmosphere. This is almost identical to what happens when metal rusts, but on a much shorter time scales because of the higher energies involved. In other words, the metal is forming a chemical bond with the oxygen in the air.
Magnesium is a metal when we say burning of magnesium it means formation of its oxide with liberation of heat and light.

When a metal burns, it typically reacts with oxygen in the air to form metal oxides, rather than carbon dioxide. However, if the metal is part of a compound that contains carbon, such as hydrocarbons or certain metal carbonates, burning it can produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct. In general, pure metals do not produce carbon dioxide when they burn.
