  • question_answer
    The oxidation state of nitrogen is highest in                 [MP PMT 2001; BHU 2002]

    A)                 \[{{N}_{3}}H\]  

    B)                 \[N{{H}_{2}}OH\]

    C)                 \[{{N}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}\]   

    D)                 \[N{{H}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

           \[3\times x+1\,(1)=0\]            \[3x+1=0\]            \[3x=-1,\,\Rightarrow x=-\frac{1}{3}\,\,\text{in}\,\,{{N}_{3}}H\]            \[x+2\,(+1)+1\,(-2)+1(1)=0\]            \[x=-1\,\,\text{in}\,\,N{{H}_{2}}OH\]            \[x\times 2+4\,(1)=0\]\[x=-\frac{4}{2}=-2\,\text{in}\,\,{{N}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}\]            \[x+3\,(1)=0\]\[x=-3\,\,in\,\,N{{H}_{3}}\]                                 Hence, highest in \[{{N}_{3}}H\].
