Fossil fuels are called so because they have been derived from fossils, which were formed millions of years ago during the time of the dinosaurs.

La unión del oxígeno (no metal) con un metal, forma el determinado óxido que se nombra como óxido de .... y el no metal.

En este caso, podemos deducir que el contenido del frasco es de óxido de magnesio, aunque viendo que hay un sólo átomo de oxígeno podemos llamarlo como monóxido de magnesio, similar al CO (monóxido de carbono).

A partir de que el magnesio sólido entre en contacto con el aire, se produce MgO de acuerdo a la siguiente reacción:

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO
