Nitrogen forms a variety of compounds in all oxidation states ranging from
-
- –3 to + 5
- –3 to + 3
- –3 to + 4
- –3 to + 6
- –3 to + 5
Correct Option: A
Nitrogen compounds are chemical compounds containing nitrogen ions. Nitrogen forms compounds with a wide range of oxidation states that range from -3 for the nitride ion to +5 in nitrates and nitric acid. +5 oxidation state compounds are strong oxidizing agents. -3 oxidation state compounds are weak reducing agents.
