Aim: To show that a compound can be formed by combining two elements chemically.
Procedure:
Take a strip of magnesium and heat it
Observation:
Magnesium burns brightly, and leaves a white ash as the end product.
Conclusion:
A compound is formed when things are burned
Explanation:
When magnesium burns in the air, it combines with oxygen to form a white ash called magnesium oxide. Magnesium oxide has properties that are different from magnesium and oxygen. Therefore, magnesium + oxygen --> magnesium oxide
