Answer:
When magnesium ribbon is burnt in the air, it combines with oxygen to form white powder magnesium oxide MgO with the release of heat and light. It forms a white powder of magnesium oxide. Magnesium gives up two electrons to oxygen atoms to form this powdery product.
2Mg + O2⟶ 2MgO
It is the concept of exothermic reaction.
