Magnesium ribbon is a thin strip made from magnesium metal, known for its reactivity and flammability. When exposed to air, magnesium ribbon burns with a bright white flame, producing magnesium oxide. This reaction is often used in demonstrations to illustrate combustion and oxidation processes.

To ignite magnesium ribbon, you typically use a flame source, such as a Bunsen burner or a lighter. Once it catches fire, the ribbon emits intense light and heat, making it visually striking. This property of magnesium is not only fascinating for educational purposes but also highlights its potential in pyrotechnics and other applications.
