Question

In which of the following compounds does Nitrogen exhibit its highest mathematically calculated oxidation state?

Answer: A

💡 Solution & Explanation

Solving for N in each: In $N_3H$ (hydrazoic acid), $3x + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow x = -1/3$ . In $NH_2OH$ , $x + 3 - 2 = 0 \Rightarrow x = -1$ . In $N_2H_4$ , $2x + 4 = 0 \Rightarrow x = -2$ . In $NH_3$ , $x = -3$ . The highest (most positive) value is -1/3.
