Oxidation of Nitrogen family
« on: September 01, 2009, 06:08:37 PM »
The question is True/False.

Quote
The only oxidation states exhibited by members of the Nitrogen family are: -3, 0, +3, +5


The answer is false, and I don't know why. All those oxidation #s seemed to make sense to me, and I couldn't think of any others.

Any thoughts as to why that's not true?
