sorry bt I need to increase my boints

Answer 2

Answer:

when magnesium ribbon burns in air it forms magnesium oxide and as the name suggests , magnesium is oxidised. In short, reaction of a metal with oxygen is called oxidization. so here magnesium burns in oxygen (present in air) so it is also oxidised.

Explanation:

now since you asked why, well there is no answer to this question. its a normal tendency of metals to react with oxygen to form its oxide which are basic in nature.

you cannot ask why you like playing because its the tendency of humans to do so . similarly your question makes no sense.

follow if you get help.
