Chapter 17, Problem 5E
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The oxidation number for nitrogen in NH3 is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation number is the positive or negative value assigned to an atom in a substance. The number of electrons lost or gained by the elements gives the value of oxidation number. The oxidation number of monoatomic ion is equal to its charge and in free state its value is 0.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The oxidation number for nitrogen in N2O4 is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation number is the positive or negative value assigned to an atom in a substance. The number of electrons lost or gained by the elements gives the value of oxidation number. The oxidation number of monoatomic ion is equal to its charge and in free state its value is 0.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The oxidation number for nitrogen in Li3N is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation number is the positive or negative value assigned to an atom in a substance. The number of electrons lost or gained by the elements gives the value of oxidation number. The oxidation number of monoatomic ion is equal to its charge and in free state its value is 0.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The oxidation number for nitrogen in KNO3 is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation number is the positive or negative value assigned to an atom in a substance. The number of electrons lost or gained by the elements gives the value of oxidation number. The oxidation number of monoatomic ion is equal to its charge and in free state its value is 0.
