Statement `N` atom has two different oxidation states in `NH_(4)NO_(2)`.
Explanation One `N` atom has-`ve` oxidation number as it is attached with less electronegative `H`-atom and other has `+ve` oxidation number as it is attached with more electronegative atom.
A. `S` is correct but `E` is wrong.
B. `S` is wrong but `E` is correct.
C. Both `S` and `E` are correct and `E` is correct explanation of `S`
D. Both `S` and `E` are correct but `E` is not correct explanation of `S`.

D. Both `S` and `E` are correct but `E` is not correct explanation of `S`.
Correct Answer – C
`N` in `NH_(4)^(+)` is in `-3` oxidation state and in `NO_(2)^(-)` it is in `+3` oxidation state.
