1.mass the crucible and then zero the balance with the crucible on it
2.take a small bit of magnesium and put it in the crucible

if it doesn't take the lid off and wait a few more minutes. If it doesn't light by then, take the magnesium out and light it by hand( not literally).

3.
4.Mg2NO
5.magnesium and oxygen
6.it did conduct electicity, it is ionic
