In which of the following compounds, an element exhibits two different oxidation States ?
Updated On: Apr 6, 2025
- \(\text{N}_2\text{H}_4\)
- \(\text{NH}_2\text{CONH}_2\)
\(\text{NH}_4\text{NO}_3\)
\(\text{N}_3\text{H}\)

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Correct Answer: NH4NO3
Explanation:
In ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), nitrogen exists in two different compounds within the same molecule:
- In the ammonium ion (NH4+), nitrogen has an oxidation state of -3.
- In the nitrate ion (NO3-), nitrogen has an oxidation state of +5.
So, nitrogen exhibits two different oxidation states (-3 and +5) in this single compound.
The other options contain nitrogen in only one oxidation state.
