 oxidation no of N in NOCl

Hi,

 

@Kbutnotcat, Ayisha Fazila has posted quite appropriate answer.

As she mentioned it is -3.

She assumed the oxidation number nitrogen to be x and then she substituted the oxidation numbers of oxygen and chlorine as -2 and -1 respectively.

Hope, you got it.

 

@Brindak, Oops!! Wrong this time. It is actually -3. Never mind, keep trying.

 

@Ayisha, Hey Good effort! Your answers are really helpful to all the users of this community. Keep writing!!!

Thumbs up!!

 

Cheers!!
