Question

oxidation state of nitrogen is highest in a) n3h b) n2o2 c) nh2oh d) nh3​

Answer 1

Answer:

(i) N

3

H

O.S.⇒3x+1=0

x=−1/3

(ii) NH

3

O.S.⇒x+3=0

x=−3

(iii)NH

2

−OH

O.S.⇒x+2−1=0

x=−1

(iv) N

2

H

4

O.S.⇒2x+4=0

x=

2

−4

=−2

∴ Highest oxidation state of nitrogen is =−1/3

Answer 2

>>> a) $N_{3} H$
