Magnesium oxide is formed when the magnesium is burnt in air.
2Mg + O2 --- 2MgO
Magnesium oxide, or magnesia, is a white hygroscopic solid mineral that occurs naturally as periclase and is a source of magnesium. It has an empirical formula of MgO and consists of a lattice of Mg²⁺ ions and O2− ions held together by ionic bonding.
