Making a metal Oxide
Aim: To make a metal oxide and observe the difference in properties of the product compared to the reactant.
Method:
1. Light your bunsen burner.
2. Hold your piece of magnesium in the scissor tongs. Ensure you are holding onto the very tip of the magnesium.
3. Place the other end of the magnesium into the Bunsen flame ( at the top of the blue flame).
4. When the magnesium begins to burn, do not directly at it, as the light emitted can permanently damage your eyes.

Observation: Before magnesium reacted with oxygen it was a shiny metal lustre during the reaction it was a bright white light.
