Questions
Identify from the reaction the reactants that undergo oxidation and reduction.
2Mg + O2 → 2MgO
\[\ce{2Mg + O2 ->[\Delta] 2MgO}\]

Solution 1
In a reaction, magnesium is changing to magnesium oxide. That means, oxygen is being added to magnesium. Addition of oxygen to a substance is called oxidation, so magnesium undergoes oxidation.
Solution 2
Mg undergoes oxidation and O2 undergoes reduction.
