26. In which of the following compounds, an element exhibits two different oxidation states?(a) \( NH _{2} OH \)(c) \( N _{2} H _{4} \)(b) \( NH _{4} NO _{3} \)(d) \( N _{ S } H \)

Answer»

Answer: NH4NO3 ​ 

In NH2OH oxidation of N is -1 

NH4NO3 ​ exists as NH4+ ​ .NO3 ​ , thus the oxidation state of N in NH4+ ​ is -3 while in NO3 ​ is +5. 

In N2H4 ​ oxidation of N is -2 

In N3H oxidation of N is −1/3 ​
