Explanation:
the Oxidation number of hydrogen is +1
the Oxidation number of oxygen is -2
the sum of the Oxidation numbers of nuetral molecule is zero
H+N+4 (O)= 0
+1+N+4 (-2)=0
1+N-8=0
N=7
I think this is not correct. .. nitrogen is VA group element so its oxidation number not more than 5...
Hope this helps mate ☺️.

Answer:
Answer is +5, We can see this by its structure. In its structure 1 peroxide bond is available.
When we calculate this by common method we get +7 but this is not correct because it can show oxidation state between -3 to +5.
