Answer:
+1
Explanation:
We have: N2O
The sum of the oxidation numbers in a neutral compound is always zero.
The oxidation state of O in most compounds is −2 . We can determine the oxidation state of N by letting it equal to x :
⇒2x+(−2)=0
⇒2x=2
⇒x=1
Therefore, the oxidation state of N in N2O is +1 .
