Options
- ANO 3 - > NO 2 > NO > N 2 O
- BNO 2 > NO 3 - > NO > N 2 O
- CN 2 O > NO 2 > NO > NO 3 -
- DNO > NO 2 > N 2 O > NO 3 -
Correct answer
A. NO 3 - > NO 2 > NO > N 2 O
Step-by-step solution
The oxidation states of Nitrogen in following molecules are as follows NO 3 - → + 5 NO 2 → + 4 NO → + 2 N 2 O → + 1
