In which of the following oxides of nitrogen, the oxidation state of the element is the lowest ?A. Nitric oxideB. Nitrous oxideC. Nitrogen dioxideD. Nitrogen trioxide |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - B (a) Nitric oxide , NO x - 2 `= 0 implies x = + 2` (b) Nitrous oxide ` , N_(2)O 2x - 2 = 0 implies x = + 1` (c) Nitrogen dioxide , `NO_(2)` x + 2(-2) = 0 `implies x = + 4` (d) Nitrogen trioxide `NO_(3)` `x + 2x (-3) = 0 implies x = + 6` Thus , in nitrous oxide , oxidation number of nitrogen is lowest . |
