    Answer is: 4 atoms of nitrogen.

    One formula unit of magnesium nitrate (Mg (NO₃) ₂) has two atoms of nitrogen, so two formula units of magnesium nitrate will have four atoms of nitrogen (2·2=4).

    Oxidation number of magnesium in magnesium nitrate is + 2 and oxidation number of nitrate anion is - 1 (2· (-1) = - 2).
