Question

1. Nitrogen is unique among the elements in forming 7 molecular oxides: (0) (iv) N2O NO N2O3 NO2 N204 N2O5 NO3 (vi) (vii) Three of these are paramagnetic, that is they do not have an even number of electrons so in their Lewis structure there is one unpaired electron. Draw Lewis structures for all the oxides and assign oxidation states to nitrogen and oxygen in each compound.

Answer 1

Oxidahon Staten :N = -2 N2O 2 +2 a) NO bere) +3 3) N2O3 :0:- 2. 4 NO2 espece para) + 2 /1 - 2 +5

4) NO2 Odd L N2 5 6 N205 2 odd e spece. Para
