Task:
Explain what happens when
magnesium burns.
Top Tips:
?Try to use particle
diagrams to show what is
happening.
basically the magnesium oxidizes, which means it reacts with the oxygen in the air, you would need to show that when the magnesium is burned it reacts with oxygen to creat magnesium oxide, the really smelly white stuff :P
At room temperature, a sample of pure magnesium metal combines with oxygen to form a thin skin of magnesium oxide. At higher temperatures, it burns with a blinding white light, and because of this property it's used in fireworks.
It makes a chemical reaction. It's goes all sparkly.
