Today we got two elements magnesium (Mg) and oxygen (O) to make the compound magnesium oxide (MgO). We figured an element is made of one element only one then we got a small piece of magnesium and then lit the bunsen burner then held the magnesium under the blue flame a little bit later it lit up and made a bright white flame then later to go solid into a white powdery solid that we could not turn back into the original elements.A compound is a mixture of of mutuplebule elements that have been combined chemically.
