The term used to describe the unreached magnesium oxide is "dead-burned magnesia." This form of magnesium oxide is produced when magnesium carbonate or magnesium hydroxide is subjected to high temperatures, resulting in a dense and stable product. Dead-burned magnesia is often utilized in refractory applications due to its high melting point and resistance to thermal shock.
it is the oxidation of Magnesium into Magnesium oxide which appears as a white powder.That is classified as a redox reaction, a term which is a contraction of reduction-oxidation. The magnesium is oxidized and the oxygen is reduced. The terms refer to the transfer of electrons. Electrons have a negative charge, so a recipient of electrons, such as oxygen is reduced in the sense that its charge becomes negative.
The term used to describe the composition of an igneous rock rich in the elements magnesium and iron is "mafic." Mafic rocks typically contain a higher proportion of dark-colored minerals, such as pyroxene and olivine, and are generally denser than their felsic counterparts, which are richer in silica and lighter-colored minerals. Examples of mafic rocks include basalt and gabbro.
Al2O3 is aluminum oxide.
Calcined magnesia, or magnesium oxide (MgO), is a formal chemical term used in scientific and industrial contexts. It refers specifically to the product obtained by heating magnesium carbonate or magnesium hydroxide to remove carbon dioxide or water. While it may not be commonly referenced in everyday conversation, it is widely used in various applications, including refractory materials and as a dietary supplement, making it familiar in certain fields.
Magnesium deficiency means that the intake of magnesium by the body is lacking. Common symptoms of this include dizziness, muscle crams, weakness, and fatigue.
Magnesium Oxide is a compound, not a reaction. However if you are talking about making magnesium oxide from its individual elements, that would be a redox reaction. In this reaction, magnesium is going from a zero oxidation state to a +2 oxidation state. If you think of the acronym OIL RIG (Oxidation Is Lost Reduction Is Gained) Magnesium is being oxidized as it has lost two electrons. As well, the oxygen is gaining two electrons to have a -2 charge and is therefore being reduced hence the term redox.
The unreacted lead oxide is typically referred to as "residual lead oxide."
I answered this question. It is indeed because Mg is a metal. Ionic compounds (those with a metal) do not get a prefix, molecular compounds (those without a metal) do.
Notorious oxide is a term commonly used to describe nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas. It is a gas that can cause euphoria and dizziness when inhaled, and is sometimes used recreationally. However, it can be dangerous if not used properly.
Mafic is a term used to describe an igneous rock that is usually dark in color, with a chemistry that may be high in magnesium and iron, like basalt. Mafic is also a term used to describe a type of magma that is high in calcium, magnesium and iron, and relatively low in silica, compared to felsic magma.

Iron oxide is too general a term. The formula for Iron (II) Oxide is FeO and the formula of Iron (III) Oxide is Fe2O3
Al2O3 is aluminum oxide.
- This is not an oxide, is a sulfide.- The term pH is applied to liquids.

Okay, first things first: "Jigsaw" is a brand of magnesium supplements. With that in mind: It's at least possible that it is "better for you" than plain old magnesium oxide, if your diet is low in magnesium. Magnesium is pretty important biologically, but it's also pretty prevalent naturally in foods, so unless you've been diagnosed with hypomagnesia (a fancy term for "low magnesium levels") it's quite likely that you're getting all you need in your normal diet. (Incidentally, green plants in particular have a fair amount of magnesium; magnesium is the central atom in the porphyrin complex of chlorophyll.) However, if you want to be doubly sure, you can take magnesium supplements; it does play a role in reducing the risk of, among other things, stroke and osteoporosis. The particular magnesium compound taken is largely irrelevant to its overall biological availability (a magnesium compound that doesn't dissolve at all will simply be excreted eventually without being used by the body, but magnesium oxide is soluble under acidic conditions such as prevail in the stomach). Jigsaw claims that their "sustained release technology" (a rather grandiose term for "hey, it doesn't all dissolve immediately") results in a more even concentration of serum magnesium throughout the day. How significant this is I'm not sure, and given the way magnesium is actually absorbed by the body I have some doubts about exactly how much difference there really is between their formulation and Brand X. Bottom line: it might work slightly better, if you really need it, which you probably don't, and at any rate I wouldn't pay much of a premium for it; if it's significantly more expensive than the store brand I'd probably just buy the cheaper one and let my gastrointestinal tract figure out how much to absorb and when.
