In balancing the half reaction `CN^(ө)rarrCNO^(ө)`(skeltan) The number of electrons that must be added is

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`CN^(-) to CNO^(-)`
Oxidation number of nitrogen in `CN^(-)` `4+x = -1` and in `CNO^(-) 4 + x-2 =-1`
`x=-5 , x=-3`
`CN^(-)` is thus oxidised by losing two electrons.
