Q78 / 180 · NEET 2018 · Chemistry

The correct order of N-compounds in its decreasing order of oxidation states is

  • A
    HNO3, NH4Cl, NO, N2
  • B
    HNO3, NO, NH4Cl, N2
  • Correct answer
    C
    HNO3, NO, N2,NH4Cl
  • D
    NH4Cl, N2, NO, HNO3

Solution

Figure

→HNO3⇒1+x+3(−2)=0

x=5

→NO⇒x+1(−2)=0

x=2

→N2⇒2x=0

x=0

→NH4Cl=x+4(1)+1(−1)=0

x=−3

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
