We represent the particles (atoms) in magnesium metal as spheres stacked closely together. Magnesium burns when these particles react with the oxygen particles in the surrounding air. The oxygen particles are represented as molecules consisting of two oxygen atoms bonded together. We represent this as two spheres pressed together.
The product of the reaction is magnesium oxide and we represent this by joining one of the oxygen spheres to one of the magnesium spheres.
Draw a box for your diagram. Then show magnesium in your box (it is a solid so the particles are tightly packed). Draw another box and show oxygen (it is a gas so the particles will be far apart and moving fast). Now draw your last box and show a solid (magnesium oxide) but with an equal amount of oxygen particles and magnesium particles all packed together (draw the two particle types different colours).
No, magnesium is already a metal. When burnt, magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide, releasing a bright white light in the process.
When magnesium is burnt, it reacts with oxygen to produce magnesium oxide. The word equation for this reaction is: magnesium + oxygen β magnesium oxide.
When magnesium is burnt in air, it produces a bright white light and forms magnesium oxide, which is a white powder. The reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases energy in the form of heat and light.
Magnesium oxide (MgO) is formed. When a piece of magnesium ribbon is burnt it reacts with oxygen in air according to the chemical equation: 2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s) The magnesium burns in a bright white light and the resulting magnesium oxide is in the form of a white powder.
When magnesium is burnt in air, it undergoes a combustion reaction, producing magnesium oxide (MgO) and releasing a bright white light. This reaction is highly exothermic, meaning it releases a large amount of heat energy.

it looks like burnt dust

If it is burnt with a gas such as oxygen then yes
It forms magnesium oxide. :)
One - Magnesium Oxide (MgO)
a bright light is created and it then creates magnesium oxide
If completely burnt (in excess of oxygen), all the magnesium will be converted to magnesium oxide.
Oxygen in the air (O2)
