One mole of 
loses 10 moles of electrons to form a compound Y. Assuming that all nitrogen appears in the new compound, if there is no change in O.N. of hydrogen, the O.N. of nitrogen in Y is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Total oxidation number of two N atoms in 
is
As, it loses 10 moles of electrons, therefore total oxidation number of two nitrogen atoms increase by 10.
i.e., Total oxidation number of two nitrogen atoms in Y is:
Oxidation number of each nitrogen atom in Y is 
.
