The correct order of N-compounds in its decreasing order of oxidation states is
- HNO3, NO, N2, NH4Cl
- HNO3, NO, NH4Cl, N2
- NH4Cl, N2, NO, HNO3
- HNO3, NH4Cl, NO, N2
Correct answer: HNO3, NO, N2, NH4Cl
Solution
The oxidation state of nitrogen in HNO3 is +5, in NO is +2, in N2 is 0, and in NH4Cl is -3. Arranging these in decreasing order gives HNO3 > NO > N2 > NH4Cl.
