Classification of Elements and Periodicity in PropertiesEasy- Option A: HNO₃, NO, N₂, NH₄Cl
- Option B: HNO₃, NO, NH₄Cl, N₂
- Option C: NH₄Cl, N₂, NO, HNO₃
- Option D: HNO₃, NH₄Cl, NO, N₂
Show answer & explanationHide answer & explanation
Correct answer: (A) HNO₃, NO, N₂, NH₄Cl
Explanation
Oxidation states of nitrogen are: - In HNO₃ : +5 - In NO : +2 - In N₂ : 0 - In NH₄Cl : -3 Therefore, the decreasing order is: Hence, option (A) is correct.
