Answer:

When the magnesium metal burns it reacts with oxygen found in the air to form Magnesium Oxide. ... Oxygen and magnesium combine in a chemical reaction to form this compound. After it burns, it forms a white powder of the magnesium oxide. Magnesium gives up two electrons to oxygen atoms to form this powdery product
