Correct answer: C

  1. Find oxidation state of nitrogen in each compound using oxygen as −2-2−2.

  2. For NONONO: x+(−2)=0x + (-2) = 0x+(−2)=0 x=+2x = +2x=+2 So, oxidation state of NNN in NONONO is +2+2+2.

  3. For N2ON_2ON2​O: Let average oxidation state of each nitrogen be xxx. 2x+(−2)=02x + (-2) = 02x+(−2)=0 2x=+22x = +22x=+2 x=+1x = +1x=+1 So, average oxidation state of NNN in N2ON_2ON2​O is +1+1+1.

  4. For NO2NO_2NO2​: x+2(−2)=0x + 2(-2) = 0x+2(−2)=0 x−4=0x - 4 = 0x−4=0 x=+4x = +4x=+4 So, oxidation state of NNN in NO2NO_2NO2​ is +4+4+4.

  5. For N2O3N_2O_3N2​O3​: Let average oxidation state of each nitrogen be xxx. 2x+3(−2)=02x + 3(-2) = 02x+3(−2)=0 2x−6=02x - 6 = 02x−6=0 2x=+62x = +62x=+6 x=+3x = +3x=+3 So, average oxidation state of NNN in N2O3N_2O_3N2​O3​ is +3+3+3.

  6. Arrange in increasing order: N2O(+1)<NO(+2)<N2O3(+3)<NO2(+4)N_2O(+1) < NO(+2) < N_2O_3(+3) < NO_2(+4)N2​O(+1)<NO(+2)<N2​O3​(+3)<NO2​(+4)

  7. Match with options: This corresponds to Option C.

  8. Comparison with stored answer: Stored correct answer = C. My derived answer = C. Hence, they agree.
