The fomula is NH4 (1+)
There are only two elements N and H.
As per oxidation state rules, the most electronegative element will have a negative oxidation state and the other element will have a positive oxidation state.
N is more electronative than H, so H will have a positive oxidation state and nitrogen will have a negative oxidation state.
You can also use the rule that states the hydrogen mostly has 1+ oxidation state,except when it is bonded to metals.
In conclusion the oxidation state of H in NH4 (1+) is 1+.
Now you must know that the sum of the oxidations states equals the charge of the ion, which in this case is 1+.
That implies that 4* (1+) + x = 1+
=> x = (1+) - 4(+) = 3-
Answer: the oxidation state of N is 3-, that is the option b.
1: viewing any chemical reaction in a laboratory
2: dangerous to look at when it burns & used in photography, fireworks, and flares
3: the product

Answer: 3.69 × 10^27
Explanation:
Amount of energy required = 7.06 × 10^4 J
Frequency of microwave (f) = 2.88 × 10^10 s−1
Planck's constant (h) = 6.63 × 10^-34 Jᐧs/quantum
Recall ;
Energy of photon = hf
Therefore, energy of photon :
(6.63 × 10^-34)j.s× (2.88 × 10^10)s^-1
= 19.0944 × 10^(-34 + 10) = 19.0944×10^-24 J
Hence, number of quanta required :
(7.06 × 10^4)J / (19.0944 × 10^-24)J
= 0.369 × 10^(4 + 24) = 0.369×10^28
= 3.69 × 10^27
