The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct oxidation state of nitrogen in the given compounds, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze NH3 (Ammonia) 1. **Identify the compound**: NH3 2. **Assign oxidation states**: - Let the oxidation state of nitrogen be \( x \). - Each hydrogen has an oxidation state of +1. - The overall charge of NH3 is 0. 3. **Set up the equation**: \[ x + 3(+1) = 0 \] \[ x + 3 = 0 \] \[ x = -3 \] 4. **Conclusion**: The oxidation state of nitrogen in NH3 is -3. ### Step 2: Analyze NH2OH (Hydroxylamine) 1. **Identify the compound**: NH2OH 2. **Assign oxidation states**: - Let the oxidation state of nitrogen be \( x \). - Each hydrogen has an oxidation state of +1, and oxygen has -2. - The overall charge of NH2OH is 0. 3. **Set up the equation**: \[ x + 2(+1) + (-2) = 0 \] \[ x + 2 - 2 = 0 \] \[ x = 0 \] 4. **Conclusion**: The oxidation state of nitrogen in NH2OH is 0. ### Step 3: Analyze N2H5^2+ (Hydrazinium ion) 1. **Identify the compound**: N2H5^2+ 2. **Assign oxidation states**: - Let the oxidation state of nitrogen be \( x \). - Each hydrogen has an oxidation state of +1. - The overall charge of N2H5 is +2. 3. **Set up the equation**: \[ 2x + 5(+1) = +2 \] \[ 2x + 5 = 2 \] \[ 2x = 2 - 5 \] \[ 2x = -3 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = -\frac{3}{2} \] 4. **Conclusion**: The oxidation state of nitrogen in N2H5^2+ is -1.5. ### Step 4: Analyze Mg3N2 (Magnesium Nitride) 1. **Identify the compound**: Mg3N2 2. **Assign oxidation states**: - Let the oxidation state of nitrogen be \( x \). - Each magnesium has an oxidation state of +2. - The overall charge of Mg3N2 is 0. 3. **Set up the equation**: \[ 3(+2) + 2x = 0 \] \[ 6 + 2x = 0 \] \[ 2x = -6 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = -3 \] 4. **Conclusion**: The oxidation state of nitrogen in Mg3N2 is -3. ### Final Conclusion - The oxidation states of nitrogen in the compounds are: - NH3: -3 - NH2OH: 0 - N2H5^2+: -1.5 - Mg3N2: -3 The correct oxidation state of nitrogen is given in **Mg3N2**, where it is -3. ### Correct Option The correct answer is **Mg3N2** (option D), where the oxidation state of nitrogen is correctly given as -3. ---
