a)
Interpretation : To determine the oxidation state of nitrogen in
Concept Introduction : The oxidation state of any element is the ability of the element to gain or lose electrons. The atoms that are bonded to the element may affect the oxidation state of the element. The oxidation state of an element depending upon the ability of an element to lose or gain electrons can be positive or negative. The sum of the oxidation state of a molecule will be equal to zero.
a)
Answer to Problem 89A
The oxidation number of nitrogen in
Explanation of Solution
Sodium belongs to group 1 therefore, the common oxidation state of sodium is +1 and that of oxygen is -2. Considering the oxidation state of Nitrogen to be X then
Therefore, the oxidation number of Nitrogen in
