Oxidation state of the nitrogen atom is Choose 3. oxidation state of the carbon atom is Choose 5. oxidation state of the carbon atom is Choose A A

Explanation / Answer

1) nitrogen has +5 oxdation state

HNO3

-1+(3*2)=5

2) oxidation state +5

NO2+

+1+(2*2)=5

3) THIS CARBON has -1 oxidation state as only one hydrogen is attached and no other atoms.

4)carbon has +1 oxidation state.

Nitrogen +3 oxidation state
