Q. Among the following, the total number of compounds which give positive Lassaigne's test for nitrogen is/are_______.
i $NH _{2} OH$
ii $H _{2} N - NH _{2}$
iii $H _{2} N - CO - NH _{2}$
iv $NH _{2}- C _{6} H _{5}- COOH$
v $NH _{2}- CS - NH _{2}$
vi $NH _{2}- C _{6} H _{4}- SO _{3} H$

Solution:

$NH _{2} OH , H _{2} N - NH _{2}$ does not contain ' $C$ '-atom in it to form $NaCN$ with sodium metal and hence will not show positive Lassaigne's test for nitrogen.
