Following are the possible isomers of secondary alcohol and ketones for six carbon molecules. In order to distinguish between sec. alcohol and ketone we can simply treat the unknown compound with acidified Potassium Dichromate (VI) in the presence of acid. If with treatment with unknown compound the colour of K2Cr2O7 (potassium dichromate VI) changes from orange to green then it is confirmed that the unknown compound is sec. alcohol, or if no change in colour is detected then ketone is confirmed. This is because ketone can not be further oxidized while, sec. alcohol can be oxidized to ketones as shown below,
The compound nitrogen have most positive oxidation state is NO₂. The correct option is b.
<h3>What is oxidation state?</h3>
The total number of electrons gained or lost by an atom in order to form a chemical bond with another atom.
The charge on an ion is equal to the sum of the oxidation states of all the atoms in the ion. A substance's more electronegative elements are given a negative oxidation state.
A positive oxidation state is assigned to the less electronegative element.
Thus, the correct option is b, NO₂.
