What type of chemical reaction is magnesium oxide?

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.


What term is used to describe the unreacted lead oxide?

The unreacted lead oxide is typically referred to as "residual lead oxide."


Why does sulphur plus oxygen use the term dioxide for oxygen but magnesium plus oxygen uses the term oxide. Is it because Mg is a metal?

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.

What is the definition of mafic?

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.


What kind of chemical reaction is the burning of magnesium in oxygen?

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.
