Statement N atom has two different oxida...

Statement `N` atom has two different oxidation states in `NH_(4)NO_(2)`.
Explanation One `N` atom has-`ve` oxidation number as it is attached with less electronegative `H`-atom and other has `+ve` oxidation number as it is attached with more electronegative atom.

A

`S` is correct but `E` is wrong.

B

`S` is wrong but `E` is correct.

C

Both `S` and `E` are correct and `E` is correct explanation of `S`

D

Both `S` and `E` are correct but `E` is not correct explanation of `S`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`N` in `NH_(4)^(+)` is in `-3` oxidation state and in `NO_(2)^(-)` it is in `+3` oxidation state.
