Magnesium reacts with oxygen when magnesium is used in fireworks and flares.
Discuss why these two elements react readily with each other. Include in your answer:
• observations of the reaction when a piece of magnesium is burnt
• the electron arrangement of magnesium and oxygen
• how the electron arrangement relates to the reactivity
• a balanced equation for the reaction of magnesium with oxygen.
