MCQ
In the reaction $3Mg + {N_2} \to M{g_3}{N_2}$
- AMagnesium is reduced
- ✓Magnesium is oxidized
- CNitrogen is oxidized
- DNone of these
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Magnesium is oxidized
(b) In the given reaction oxidation state of $Mg$ is changing from $0$ to $+2$ while in nitrogen it is changing from $0$ to $-3$. So oxidation of $Mg$ and reduction of nitrogen takes place.
