    In which of the following pairs, there is greatest difference in the oxidation number of the underlined elements?

    A) \[\underset{\scriptscriptstyle-}{N}{{O}_{2}}\,and\ {{\underset{\scriptscriptstyle-}{N}}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}\]      

    B) \[{{\underset{\scriptscriptstyle-}{P}}_{2}}{{O}_{5\,}}\operatorname{and}\,{{\underset{\scriptscriptstyle-}{P}}_{4}}{{\operatorname{O}}_{10}}\]

    C) \[{{\underset{\scriptscriptstyle-}{N}}_{2}}O\,and\ \underset{\scriptscriptstyle-}{N}O\]                      

    D) \[\underset{\scriptscriptstyle-}{S}{{O}_{2}} and \underset{\scriptscriptstyle-}{S}{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    O.N. of N in \[N{{O}_{2}}\] and \[{{N}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}\] is +4
    \[\therefore \]Difference is zero.
    O.N. of P in \[{{P}_{2}}{{O}_{5}}\] and \[{{P}_{4}}{{O}_{10}}\] is +5
    \[\therefore \]Difference is zero
    O.N. of N in\[{{\operatorname{N}}_{2}}O\]is +1and in NO is +2.the difference is 1
    O.N. of \[\operatorname{S}\] in \[{{\operatorname{SO}}_{2}}\]is +4 and in \[{{\operatorname{SO}}_{3}}\] is +6. The difference is +2
