IF U ANSWER ILL BRAINLIST AND GIVE U 5 STAR PLUS U GET EXTRA POINTS:)) WRITE IT IN UR OWN WORDS PLS OR NO POINTS. The burning of a magnesium ribbon is an example of a reaction producing a metal oxide.
a) What reactants are required to production of a metal oxide?
b) Write a general equation for the production of a metal oxide.

a) When the magnesium metal burns it reacts with oxygen found in the air to form Magnesium Oxide. A compound is a material in which atoms of different elements are bonded to one another. Oxygen and magnesium combine in a chemical reaction to form this compound. After it burns, it forms a white powder of the magnesium oxide.

b) Metals react with oxygen in the air to produce metal oxides. For example, magnesium reacts with oxygen to produce magnesium oxide when it is heated in air: magnesium + oxygen → magnesium oxide 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO
