Question

calculate the oxidation number of n in N2O5​

Answer 1

Answer:

+5

Explanation:

Nitrogen exhibits +5 oxidation state in nitrogen pentoxide(N2O5). oxidation-state 10k . Now as, atom is neutral, O.S. ⇒ 2x+5(−2) =0.

Answer 2

Answer: Oxidation number of n in N2O5 is +5

Explanation: Unless oxygen is combined with fluorine or isolated from other atoms, the oxidation number of oxygen atoms is always taken as -2. This gives a total oxidation number charge of -10 for the five oxygen atoms in N2O5. To maintain electrical neutrality as required for all compounds, the two nitrogen atoms must have a total oxidation charge of +10, so that each of the two nitrogen atoms has an oxidation number of +5.
