Question

13. Arrange the oxides of nitrogen in increasing order of oxidation state of N from +1 to +5.
(a) N20 < N20, <NO, < N205< NO
(b) N,0<NO<N,O, <NO, <NO,
(c) N Os <NO, N20, <NO <N20
(d) NO <N,0 <NO, < N20, < N20​

Answer 1

Answer:

N 2O < NO < N2O3 < NO2 < N2O5

Explanation:

We know that the charge on oxygen is −2.

Different oxides of nitrogen has different number of oxygen atoms. Hence the oxidation states of nitrogen in its Oxides are as follows

N2O→+1, NO→+2, N2O3 →+3, NO2 →+4, N2O5→+5

Therefore, option B is the correct answer of this question.
