Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists

List I (Compound) List II (Oxidation state of N)

(A) $N O_{2}$ (1) +5

(B) $H N O$ (2) -3

(D) $N_{2} O_{5}$ (4) +1

Options:

A .

A 2 B 3 C 4 D 1

B .

A 3 B 1 C 2 D 4

C .

A 3 B 4 C 2 D 1

D .

A 2 B 3 C 1 D 4

Answer: Option C
:
C
Let us calculate the oxidation numbers for Nitrogen in each case:
(a)

∙ N O_{2}; x - 4 = 0; x = + 4

(b)

∙ H N O; 1 + x - 2 = 0; x = + 1

(c)

∙ N H_{3}; x + 3 = 0; x = - 3

(d)

∙ N_{2} O_{5}; 2 x - 10 = 0; x = \frac{10}{2}; x = 5
