MCQ
Oxidation state of nitrogen is incorrectly given for

Compound $\to$ Oxidation state

  • A
    $[Co{(N{H_3})_5}Cl]C{l_2}$ $→$       $0$ 
  • B
    $N{H_2}OH$$  → $    $- 1$
  • ${({N_2}{H_5})_2}S{O_4}$$  → $      $ + 2$
  • D
    $M{g_3}{N_2}$$ → $      $ - 3$

Answer

Correct option: C.
${({N_2}{H_5})_2}S{O_4}$$  → $      $ + 2$
c
$\text { 1. }\left[ Co \left( NH _3\right)_5 Cl \right] Cl _2$

Let oxidation number of $N = x$

Oxidation number of $NH _3=0$

$x +1(3)=0$

$x =-3 \text { is correct. }$

$2.$ $NH _2 OH$

Let oxidation number of $N = x$

Oxidation number of $H =+1$

Oxidation number of $O =-2$

$x+3(+1)+(-2)=0$

$x =-1$ is correct

$\text { 3. }\left( N _2 H _5\right)_2 SO _4$

Let oxidation number of $N = x$

Oxidation number of $H =+1$

Oxidation number of $SO _4=-2$

$2(2( x )+5(+1))+(-2)=0$

$x =-2$ is incorrect

$4$.$Mg _3 N _2$

Let oxidation number of $N = x$

Oxidation number of $Mg =+2$

$2(x)+3(+2)=0$

$x =-3$ is correct
