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

    A) \[\underline{N}{{O}_{2}}\] and \[{{\underline{N}}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}\]

    B) \[{{\underline{P}}_{2}}{{O}_{5}}\] and \[{{\underline{P}}_{4}}{{O}_{10}}\]

    C) \[{{\underline{N}}_{2}}O\] and \[\underline{N}O\]

    D) \[\underline{S}\,{{O}_{2}}\] and \[\underline{S}\,{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] 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 \[{{N}_{2}}O\] is + 1 and in NO is +2.
    The difference is 1
    O.N. of S in \[S{{O}_{2}},\] is +4 and in \[S{{O}_{3}},\] is + 6.
    The difference is + 2.
