When heated in air, magnesium ribbon reacts with oxygen to form magnesium
oxide.

The reaction in (a)(i) was carried out in a crucible with a lid and the following
data was recorded:

Mass of crucible and lid = 47.372 ±0.001 g

Mass of crucible, lid and magnesium ribbon before heating = 53.726 ±0.001 g

Mass of crucible, lid and product after heating = 56.941 ±0.001 g

When magnesium is burnt in air, some of it reacts with nitrogen to form

magnesium nitride according to the equation:

3 Mg (s) + N2 (g) → Mg3N2 (s)

The presence of magnesium nitride can be demonstrated by adding water to the

product. It is hydrolysed to form magnesium hydroxide and ammonia.

Most nitride ions are 14N3–.

(g) State the types of bonding in magnesium, oxygen and

magnesium oxide, and how the valence electrons produce
these types of bonding.
