The oxidation state of nitrogen is highest in

A

`N_(3)H`

B

`NH_(2)OH`

C

`N_(2)H_(2)`

D

`NH_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`3xx x+1 (1)=0`
`3x+1=0`
`3x=-1, implies x= -1/3` in `N_(2)H`
`x+2(+1)+1(-2)+1(1)=0`
`x=-1` in `NH_(2)OH`
`x xx 2+4(1)=0" "x=-4/2=-2` in `N_(2)H_(4)`
`x+3(1)=0" "x=-3` in `NH_(3)`
Hence, highest in `N_(3)H`.
