A light, silvery-white, moderately hard metallic element that in ribbon or powder form burns with a brilliant white flame. Obtained chiefly from magnesite and dolomite, it is used in structural alloys, pyrotechnics, flash photography, and incendiary bombs.
When magnesium burns, it is actually reacting with oxygen in the air and not with fire. Fire is what we call the heat and light produced when things burn. Magnesium reacts with oxygen to make a compound called magnesium oxide. The bright light results because this reaction produces a lot of heat.
Magnesium in ribbon form is in its elemental form. It is pure Magnesium. After burning I.e. after burning in the presence of atmospheric oxygen , it changes to Magnesium oxide I.e. I. Powder form. As there is a formation of chemicals that is breakdown and formation of chemical bonds so it is a chemical process.
