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 is more reactive than iron. So Magnesium loses electrons in preference to iron. Magnesium reacts with the oxygen in the air to form Magnesium Oxide, and the iron remains protected, because it has magnesium attached to it. Magnesium is oxidised as it dissolves. Iron ions are reduced to iron atoms. The iron ions take the electrons given out by magnesium, and form iron metal.
