Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (D) < (A) < (E) < (B) < (C)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Oxidation state of N in (A) \(NO\): \(x + (-2) = 0 \implies x = +2\) Oxidation state of N in (B) \(NO_2\): \(x + 2(-2) = 0 \implies x = +4\) Oxidation state of N in (C) \(N_2O_5\): \(2x + 5(-2) = 0 \implies x = +5\) Oxidation state of N in (D) \(N_2O\):…
