MCQ

Nitrogen show different oxidation states in the range

A
$0$ to $+5$
✓
$-3$ to $+ 5$
C
$-5$ to $+ 3$
D
$-3$ to $+ 3$

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

$-3$ to $+ 5$

b
Since nitrogen atom have $5$ electrons in its outermost shell, so higher electronegative elements can extend its oxidation state up to $+5$, while in case of taking electrons it cannot go beyond $8$ electrons. So at most it can accept $3$ electrons.
