Question

what is oxidation state of N in NH4Cl
​

Answer 1

ǟռֆաɛʀ :

The oxidation number for each atom in a molecule of NH4 Cl is N = -3

Answer 2

Answer:

We can simply calculate it...

Let x be the oxidation state of N

x + 4 × (-1) + 1 × (-1) = 0

x + 4 - 1 = 0

x + 3 = 0

x = -3

So the oxidation state of N in NH4Cl is -3
