Answer : The oxidation state of nitrogen in
is, (+5)
Explanation :
Rules for the oxidation numbers :
- The oxidation number of a free element is always be zero.
- The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equal to the charge of the ion.
- The oxidation number of Hydrogen (H) is +1.
- The oxidation number of oxygen (O) in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in the peroxides.
- The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.
- The oxidation number of a Group 2 element in a compound is +2.
- The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.
- The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.
- The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.
The given compound is,
Let the oxidation state of 'N' be, 'x'
Hence, the oxidation state of N is, (+5)
A mineral found in a bridge is iron
A scientific control is an experiment or observation designed to minimize the effects of variables other than the independent variable. This increases the reliability of the results, often through a comparison between control measurements and the other measurements.
