What is the oxidation number for each element in Mg plus O?
The oxidation numbers for the atoms in magnesium oxide are: Mg+2 and O-2.
What is the oxidation number of MgO?
The O in oxides always has oxidation number -2 (except for in peroxides where it is -1). Since the overall species has oxidation number 0, Mg must also have oxidation number +2.
