Magnesium oxide (MgO) is a compound which is formed when oxygen (a gas & non-metal) from the air reacts with magnesium (a metal) to form a white powder known as magnesium oxide, a non-metal. Usually, heat is what makes the two elements (magnesium and oxygen) react.
In food, magnesium oxide is used to prevent caking.
1. MgO is a well known basic oxide it reacts with water forming magnesium hydroxide. So it is used in medicines like mucaine, dijex mp, polycarol, etc. to reduce stomach acidity particularly in treatment of ulcers.
2. MgO is a well known ceramic material.
3. MgO is used as thermal insulator.
4. MgO is used in some types of wallboard.
5. MgO is used as desiccant.
6. MgO is a component of some types of cement.
7. MgO was used for some heating elements.
etc.
Magnesium Oxide is often used as a basic(like acid-base, not basic verse complex) high-temp refactory. Often for the use in iron/steel melting foundries.
Magnesium Hydroxide is used as a laxative, to relieve indigestion and to help with heart burn. For more information about Magnesium Hydroxide, visit the official Drugs website.
The making of cement, it can be used as a dessicant(it absorbs water well, it may be used on snow sometimes in the winter), it also can be used to relieve heartburn.
Uses are: antacid, magnesium supplement for the organism, laxative, antiindigestion.

Magnesium Oxide
Magnesium + copper oxide --> magnesium oxide + copper
Magnesium oxide contains magnesium and oxygen.
Magnesium + oxygen --> magnesium oxide 2Mg (s) + O2 (g) --> 2MgO (s)
MgO (magnesium oxide) is a compound.
Magnesium Oxide
Bum!
This compound is magnesium oxide - MgO.
Magnesium + copper oxide --> magnesium oxide + copper
Magnesium is an element. Magnesium oxide is a compound formed from magnesium and oxygen. Magnesium oxide often serves as a magnesium supplement.
Magnesium oxide contains magnesium and oxygen.
The difference is magnesium oxide contains oxide ions ,whereas aluminium oxide doesn't.
Magnesium Oxide (MgO) is used to make Portland cement, and as a fire resistant building material. It also has medical uses and can be used as an antacid to relieve indigestion.
Magnesium oxide - MgO.
the white powder is magnesium oxide. Magnesium burns in air with a dazzling white light to produce magnesium oxide. the equation is- 2Mg + O2 = 2MgO
MgO Is magnesium oxide.
the white ash is the chemial product produced when Mg is reacted with oxide.There the white ash is MgO(magnesuim oxide)
