WHAT DOES MAGNESIUM OXIDE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

magnesium oxide

Magnesium oxide

Magnesium oxide (MgO), or magnesia, is a white hygroscopic solid mineral that occurs naturally as periclase and is a source of magnesium (see also oxide). It has an empirical formula of MgO and consists of a lattice of Mg2+ ions and O2− ions held together by ionic bonding. Magnesium hydroxide forms in the presence of water (MgO + H2O → Mg(OH)2), but it can be reversed by heating it to separate moisture. Magnesium oxide was historically known as magnesia alba (literally, the white mineral from Magnesia - other sources give magnesia alba as MgCO3), to differentiate it from magnesia negra, a black mineral containing what is now known as manganese. While normally "magnesium oxide" means compound MgO, magnesium peroxide MgO2 is also known as a metastable compound. According to evolutionary crystal structure prediction, MgO2 is thermodynamically stable at pressures above 116 GPa, and a totally new semiconducting suboxide Mg3O2 is thermodynamically stable above 500 GPa.

Definition of magnesium oxide in the English dictionary

The definition of magnesium oxide in the dictionary is a white tasteless substance occurring naturally as periclase: used as an antacid and laxative and in refractory materials, such as crucibles and fire bricks. Formula: MgO Also called: magnesia.
