In which of the following compounds , nitrogen exhibits highest oxidation state ?

A

`N_(2)H_(4)`

B

`NH_(3)`

C

`N_(3)H`

D

`NH_(2)OH`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`N_(2)H_(4)rArr2x+4(+1)or2x+4=0`
`therefore" " x=-2`
`NH_(3)rArrx+3(+1)=0orx+3=0`
`therefore" " x=-3`
`N_(3)HrArr3x+1(+1)=0or3x+1=0`
`therefore" " x=-1//3`
`NH_(2)OHrArrx+2+(-2)+1=0orx+1=0`
`therefore " " x=-1`
Thus , highest oxidation state is `-1//3`.
