In which of the following compounds, an element exhibits two different oxidation states?
Options
- ANH ₄ NO ₃
- BN ₂ H ₄
- CN ₃ H
- DNH ₂ CONH ₂
Correct answer
A. NH ₄ NO ₃
Step-by-step solution
In NH ₄ NO ₃, ~N exhibits two different oxidation states. Actually NH ₄ NO ₃ exists as NH ₄⁺ and NO ₃⁻ . Oxidation state of N in ₄⁺ is -3 and in NO ₃⁻ is +5 .
