Why Does Magnesium React With Oxygen? [Solved]

Magnesium is in Group 2 of the periodic table. This means that magnesium has 2 electrons in its outer shell making it highly reactive to oxygen. When putting magnesium metal in fire you are supplying enough energy so that magnesium can start reacting with oxygen in the air to form magnesium oxide.
