Nitrous acid act as an oxidising agent because it oxidises potassium iodide to iodine. It is also a reducing agent because it decolourises acidified potassium permanganate solution.
Nitric acid acts only as an oxidising agent
Ammonia acts only as a reducing agent
Nitrogen peroxide acts only as an oxidising agent.
Ethylene is used for Artificial Ripening of Green Fruit.
Nitrogen ( ) forms Three Covalent Bonds to become stable.
Here the Atmomic Number of Nitrogen is 7. Because there are 2 electrons in the first orbital and 5 in the second and you still have space for 3 more. So it shares, 3 to get the stable octet. Therefore, there are 3 covalent bonds in .
In ,
Hydrogen has a charge of +2, with each hydrogen has +1.
Oxygen has a charge of -8, with each oxugen has -2.
Total charge = (2 - 8) = -6
Therefore, the Oxidation number of Sulphur S is '+6' because to make the compound stable.
