This is a chemical equation, specifically a reaction between magnesium and oxygen to form magnesium oxide. It is not balanced as written. To balance it, the equation would be:
2Mg + O2 = 2MgO
Now it is balanced with two magnesium atoms reacting with one oxygen molecule to form two magnesium oxide molecules.
What type of equation is this? Is it balanced?
Mg+O2=MgO
