Answer:
Since, the Nitrogen is that substance which is having a very small difference in its np and ns orbitals So, the reaction in which the NH3 or the ammonia is converted to the N2O5 or the di-nitrogen pentaoxide. The oxidation number of the nitrogen or N gets oxidized from -3 to +5 in the above reaction.
For the NH3 we get that N + 3(+1)=0 which on solving we will get N = -3. While for the N2O5 we will get 2N + 5(-2)=0 which on solving we will get that N= +5. So, from -3 to +5 oxidation occurs.
