Question

explain the trend in oxidation state of element from nitrogen to Bismuth​

Answer 1

There is a larger number of Oxidation state in Bismuth as compared to nitrogen.

Explanation:

• Bismuth has the presence of d and f orbitals.
• As a result it can accept white number of electrons inside the free orbitals of the atom.
• However nitrogen does not have f orbitals and hence it can only accept Limited number of electrons.
• Hence the number of Oxidation State in nitrogen is comparatively less as compared to Bismuth.
• Nitrogen can have Oxidation state of + 1 , + 3 ,+ 5 and -1.
• However Bismuth can have Oxidation state of + 1 ,+ 2, + 3 ,+ 5 ,+ 7.

To know more about the oxidation state of an element,

Oxygen does not show an Oxidation state of + 4 and + 6 but sulphur shows.
