It has an empirical formula of Mg O and consists of a lattice of Mg 2+ ions and O 2â ions held together by ionic bonding. Magnesium hydroxide forms in the presence of water (MgO + H 2 O â Mg(OH) 2), but it can be reversed by heating it to separate moisture.agnesium oxide is easily made by burning magnesium ribbon, which produces a very bright white light, and a powdery ash. The bright flame is very hard to extinguish and it emits a harmful intensity of UV light. Inhalation of magnesium oxide fumes can cause metal fume fever.
Magnesium oxide, MgO. Higher melting point than sodium chloride: around 2,800ÂºC. This is because its Mg 2+ and O 2- ions have a greater number of charges, so they form stronger ionic bonds than the Na + and Cl-ions in sodium chloride.Because magnesium oxide stays solid at such high temperatures, it remains non-conductive.It is used for high-temperature electrical insulation.Page: 1  1. 2  2. 3  3.his is because its Mg 2+ and O 2- ions have a greater number of charges, so they form stronger ionic bonds than the Na + and Cl-ions in sodium chloride.
