Magnesium ribbon is combustible as it catches fire with a dazzling flame.
Formation of white substance indicates that magnesium oxide is created during the reaction. The chemical reaction is as follows:
2Mg + 02 -> 2MgO
Observation: The burning of magnesium in the presence of oxygen is considered to be a combination reaction.
