Answer: Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^- represents oxidation.

Explanation:

Oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.

Example: Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

Example: Mg^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Mg

Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^- represents oxidation.
