Answer:
N in N3H has oxidation number -1/3.
Oxidation number can be defined as the total number of electrons that atoms in a molecule can lose, share or acquire while building a chemical interaction with atoms of other elements.
Solution-
Here in N3H, we have 3 nitrogen atoms and 1 hydrogen atom
So, let us assume,
The oxidation number of N in N3H is x,
3x + 1 =0
or 3x = −1
3x= −1
Therefore,
x = −1/3
