Answer 2

Question:-

When magnesium reacts with oxygen, magnesium atoms lose electrons. What happens to magnesium in this reaction?

A. it is resud

B. It underdeoes redox

c. it is oxidized

d. it is decomposed

Answer:-

Magnesium has a very energetic combustion reaction with oxygen, where two atoms of magnesium bond with one molecule of oxygen gas to form two molecules of magnesium oxide. This reaction is extremely exothermic, releasing a great deal of heat and light, which is why magnesium fuses are used to initiate reactions such as the thermite reaction, and magnesium is used in flares for high visibility. The reaction of magnesium to oxygen is so energetically favorable that burning magnesium can steal the oxygen from both water and carbon dioxide, making these common methods of dousing flames ineffective to stop magnesium combustion.

Option:-

=> C. it is oxidized.
