Answer: -

Oxidation, Oxygen

Explanation: -

Burning of magnesium gives us magnesium oxide.

The chemical symbol of magnesium is Mg.

The chemical symbol of magnesium oxide is MgO.

So, the balanced chemical equation is

2Mg + O2 – 2 MgO.

We see that the element added is O Oxygen. So, the reaction is oxidation.

In oxidation always, oxygen is the common element involved in all chemical reactions of this kind.

The given reaction can be represented as,

2Mg (s) + O_{2}(g) ---> 2MgO (s)

In this reaction, two elements (Mg and O_{2}) combine to form a single compound, MgO. Hence, this reaction is an example of chemical combination or synthesis. Here as the element Mg is oxidized in the presence of O_{2} to form MgO. This is referred to as combustion reaction. In combustion reaction, elements or compounds react with oxygen to give their respective oxides.
