$N_2O_5$

Vedclass · Answer

(D) In $N_2O_5$,the oxidation state of nitrogen is $+5$,which is the maximum possible oxidation state for nitrogen (as it belongs to group $15$ and has a valence shell configuration of $ns^2 np^3$).Since nitrogen is already in its highest oxidation state,it cannot be further oxidized.Therefore,$N_2O_5$ can only act as an oxidizing agent and cannot act as a reducing agent.

Which of the following oxides cannot act as a reducing agent?
