Which half equation shows the oxidation of magnesium?
Mg2++2e−→Mg\text{Mg}^{2+} + 2\text{e}^- \rightarrow \text{Mg}Mg2++2e−→Mg
Mg+2e−→Mg2−\text{Mg} + 2\text{e}^- \rightarrow \text{Mg}^{2-}Mg+2e−→Mg2−
Mg→Mg2++2e−\text{Mg} \rightarrow \text{Mg}^{2+} + 2\text{e}^-Mg→Mg2++2e−
Mg→Mg2−+2e−\text{Mg} \rightarrow \text{Mg}^{2-} + 2\text{e}^-Mg→Mg2−+2e−
