Answer:
The minimum oxidation state that Nitrogen exhibits is -3.
Explanation:
- Because nitrogen is in a stable state, it can both lose and gain.
- As a result, the maximum and minimum oxidation states will be +5 and -3, respectively.
- The oxidation state of nitrogen with the lowest possible oxidation state is 3, as in N^-3.
- Nitrogen can combine with other elements to generate compounds with oxidation states ranging from -3 to +5.
- The oxidation state of N in ammonia, NH3, and magnesium nitride, Mg3N2, is -3.
- N has a valence electron count of five. To complete its octet, it accepts three electrons.
- As a result, it has a -3 oxidation state.
