What is the oxidation number of nitrogen (N) in the compound HNO3? +1 +5 +6 +7 i think its +5 :)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

I agree :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep it is +5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

O3 = 3 oxygens. they are all at -2 oxidations. -2+5 = 3, so the answer is +5 :) you are correct
