The oxidation number for Mg, or Magnesium is Mg+2. Magnesium is in the second family, which means is it will lose 2 electrons to be stable. Losing those two electrons will make it positive.
+2 for Mg -2 for O
In compounds, magnesium has a +2 oxidation state; in most but not quite all compounds, oxygen has a -2 oxidation state. In peroxides, oxygen has a -1 oxidation state. In oxygen fluorides, oxygen has positive oxidation states.
In the reaction Mg + HO → Mg + H, the oxidation state of each hydrogen atom in H (which is diatomic hydrogen, H₂) is 0. This is because in its elemental form, hydrogen exists as H₂, and elements in their natural state have an oxidation state of zero.
Hydrogen's oxidation number is +1.Chlorin's oxidation number is +1.Oxygen's oxidation number is -2.
The oxidation number of Rb is 1.
The oxidation number of Mg is +2. The oxidation number of O is -2, and since there are 6 oxygen atoms in Mg2Si2O6, the total oxidation number contributed by O is -12. The oxidation number of Si is +4. Therefore, to find the oxidation number of Mg in Mg2Si2O6, you can set up an equation as follows: 2x + 2(+4) + 6(-2) = 0, where x is the oxidation number of Mg. By solving this equation, you find that the oxidation number of Mg is +2 in Mg2Si2O6.
The oxidation number of Mg in Mg3N2 is +2. Each N has an oxidation number of -3, so for the compound to be neutral, the magnesium atoms must have an oxidation number of +2.

The oxidation numbers for the atoms in magnesium oxide are: Mg+2 and O-2.
For Mg the oxidation no is +2 while it is -2 for oxygen.
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.
In MgBr2, the magnesium ion (Mg) has an oxidation number of +2, while the bromide ion (Br) has an oxidation number of -1.
The oxidation number of magnesium in magnesium sulfide is +2. Sulfur typically has an oxidation number of -2 in ionic compounds.
The oxidation numbers of atomic magnesium and atomic chlorine are 0. They react with each other to form magnesium chloride. After the formation of the salt, magnesium ions have +2 oxidation number where that of chloride ions is -1.
The oxidation number of Mg in MgCl2 is +2, and the oxidation number of Cl is -1. Magnesium typically forms ionic compounds where it loses two electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration, resulting in a +2 oxidation state. Chlorine gains one electron to achieve a stable octet, resulting in a -1 oxidation state.
