Question

Odation state of nitrogen in H-NaC is
(2) + 3
(4) - 2​

Answer 1

Explanation:

HCN --  

let O.N. of C is x  

so 1+ x -3 =0  

O.N. of C = x= + 2  

that of N = - 3  

----------------------------------  

HNC ----------  

1+ x-5 = 0  

x = 4  

O.N,. of C = +4  

ON. of N = -5

or

oxidation  

number of C  

and N in HCN, HCN.. O.N of H=+1,O.N of C=? , O.N of N=-3. HCN 1+x+(-3)=0. 1+x-3=0. x-2=0 x=+2.Therefore,the oxidation of Carbon is -3. <2>: oxidation  

number of C  

and N in HNC  

O.N of H=1,O.N of Carbon=+2,O.N of Nitrogen=? HNC 1+x+2=0. x+3=0. x=-3. Therefore,the oxidation number of Nitrogen is -3. You can now see that it is the oxidation number is the same with the no1. HCN and HNC are the same, it was just rearranged and displaced from it's normal position.
