Today at science class we set Magnesium (Mg) on fire and if you leave it in long enough it goes really bright.
- An element is made of only one type of atom
- Mg+O2 =MgO
- A compound is a substance made of 2 or more elements chemically joined together.
Silver solid + Transparent gas.
If you try to do this experiment wear safety glasses (if you do not wear safety glasses you will have a chance of being blinded).
