It sometimes happens that two different first names have the same meaning. This has nothing surprising: both first names have the same figures of numerology. It is as in astrology: two persons belonging to the same sign present the same characteristic...

Thus, the reaction of magnesium with oxygen is an oxidation-reduction reaction. A reaction that is not an oxidation-reduction reaction will cause no changes in oxidation numbers. Consider the reaction of sodium hydroxide with hydrochloric acid: Below each element in the equation, we have written its oxidation number.elow each element in each substance in the equation, we have written its oxidation number. The oxidation number of magnesium increases from 0 to +2; magnesium is oxidized. The oxidation number of oxygen decreases from 0 to -2; oxygen is reduced.
