MgO (Magnesium oxide)

Magnesium oxide (MgO) is a chemical compound made from magnesium and oxygen atoms. It appears as a white, powdery substance that is highly stable and has a high melting point. MgO is commonly used as an insulating material in electrical applications, a refractory material in high-temperature environments, and in medical settings as an antacid to help neutralize stomach acid. It’s also used in agriculture to supplement magnesium in soils. The compound’s strong bonding and chemical stability make it valuable across diverse industrial and medical fields.
