The oxidation number of N nitric acid molecule is .

A

`-3`

B

`+5`

C

`-4`

D

`+2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The oxidation number of H is `+1` and the oxidation number of O is ` -2` :
`overset(+1)(H)overset(x)(N)overset(-2)(O_(3))`
Sum of oxidation numbers : `(+ 1) + (x)+ 3 (-2) =0`
or `x= + 5`.
