Answer:

Magnesium is getting oxidized and chlorine is getting reduced.

Explanation:

An oxidized substance is a substance which undergoes oxidation reaction. These reactions are defined as the reactions in which a substance looses its electrons and oxidation state of the substance is increased.

A reduced substance is a substance which undergoes reduction reaction. These reactions are defined as the reactions in which a substance gains electrons and oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

For the synthesis of magnesium chloride, the reaction follows:

Mg(s)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow MgCl_2(s)Mg(s)+Cl

2

(g)→MgCl

2

(s)

On reactant side:

Oxidation state of magnesium = 0

Oxidation state of chlorine = 0

On product side:

Oxidation state of magnesium = +2

Oxidation state of chlorine = -1

As, oxidation state of magnesium is getting increased, it is getting oxidized and oxidation state of chlorine atom is getting reduced, it is getting reduced.
