The oxidation number of N and $$\displaystyle Cl$$ in $$\displaystyle NOCl{ O }_{ 4 }$$ respectively are :

A#ERROR!
B#ERROR!
Correct Answer
C-3 and +5
D#ERROR!

Solution

$$\displaystyle NOCl{ O }_{ 4 }$$ is actually $$\displaystyle { NO }^{ + }{ ClO }_{ 4 }^{ - }$$.

Let the oxidation state of N in $$\displaystyle { NO }^{ + }$$ is.

$$\displaystyle x+\left( -2 \right) =+1$$

$$\displaystyle x=+1+2=+3$$

Let the oxidation state of $$\displaystyle Cl$$ in $$\displaystyle { ClO }_{ 4 }^{ - }$$ is y.

$$\displaystyle y+\left( -2 \right) \times 4=-1$$

$$\displaystyle y-8=-1;y=+7$$
