MCQ

Nitrogen show different oxidation states in the range

A
$0$ to $+5$
✓
$-3$ to $+ 5$
C
$-5$ to $+ 3$
D
$-3$ to $+ 3$

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

$-3$ to $+ 5$

b
Since nitrogen atom have $5$ electrons in its outermost shell, so higher electronegative elements can extend its oxidation state up to $+5$, while in case of taking electrons it cannot go beyond $8$ electrons. So at most it can accept $3$ electrons.

Two $5$ molal solutions are prepared by dissolving a non-electrolyte, non-volatile solute separately in the solvents $X$ and $Y$. The molecular weights of the solvents are $M_X$ and $M_Y$, respectively where $M_X\, = \frac{3}{4} M_Y$. The relative lowering of vapour pressure of the solution in $X$ is $''m''$ times that of the solution in $Y$. Given that the number of moles of solute is very small in comparison to that of solvent, the value of $''m''$ is
