Which element will be oxidized and which will be reduced
This is a redox reaction. Since we have the following reaction: Ni + F2 --> Ni2+ + 2F- which is equivalent to (NiF2) The oxidation state of nickel increases by 2 - it is oxidized (Oxidation Is Loss: OIL) . The oxidation state of fluorine atoms decreases by 1, they are reduced (Reduction Is Gain: RIG).
yes it does because if it is an redox reaction then something has to be getting reduced of oxygen, therefore the equation must contain oxygen in some type of form somewhere. Sorcha :)
Well, let's think about it for a moment. The magnesium is being oxidized by the oxygen in the air. The oxygen is being reduced by the magnesium. Sounds like redox to me. More generally, a redox reaction is any reaction in which the oxidation state of the materials changes. In this case magnesium is going from 0 to +2 and oxygen is going from 0 to -2, so yes, it's a redox reaction.
my reactant is Cl2 plus 2NaBr, my product is 2NaBr2. Which one is oxidized, what is reduced. How can I tell which one is which?

It is a REDOX reaction. Sodium is oxidized by Fluorine which is itself reduced by the sodium. 2Na + F2 = 2NaF.
