Oxidation Number -

Oxidation number denotes the oxidation state of an element in a compound ascertained according to a set of rules formulated on the basis that electron pair in a covalent bond belongs entirely to more electronegative elements.

 

 In \mathrm{NH_3,O.N.(N)+3O.N.(H)=0}

\mathrm{O.N.(N)=-3}

In \mathrm{N_3H,\: 3O.N.(N)+O.N.(H)=0}

\mathrm{O.N.(N)=\frac{-1}{3}}

In \mathrm{NH_2OH,\: O.N.(N)+2O.N.(H)+O.N.(OH)=0}

\mathrm{O.N.(N)+2-1=0}

\mathrm{O.N.(N)=-1}

In \mathrm{N_2O,\: 2O.N.(N)+O.N.(O)=0}

\mathrm{O.N.(N)=+1}
