Question

The correct order of N-compounds in itsdecreasing order of oxidation states is
(1) HNO₃, NH₄Cl, NO, N₂
(2) HNO₃, NO, NH₄Cl, N₂
(3) HNO₃, NO, N₂, NH₄Cl
(4) NH₄Cl, N₂, NO, HNO₃

Answer 1

Answer:

option (3) is correct.

Explanation:

In HNO3, oxidation state of N is 5.

In NO, oxidation state of N is 2.

In N2, oxidation state of N is 0.

In NH4CL, oxidation state of NH4CL is (-3).

On comparing above oxidation states , option (c) follows correct order.
