In the reaction `3Mg + N_2 rarr Mg_3N_2`

A

Magnesium is reduced

B

Magnesium is oxidized

C

Nitrogen is oxidized

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In the given reaction oxidation state of `Mg` is changing from 0 to +2 while in nitrogen it is changing from 0 to -3. So oxidation of Mg and reduction of nitrogen takes place.
