N in NH4+ is in -3 oxidation state and in NO-2 it is +3 oxidation state.

Q. Statement 1: N atom has two different oxidation states in $N H_{4} N O_{2}$ .
Statement 2: One N atom has -ve oxidation number as it is attached with less electronegative H atom and other has +ve oxidation number as it is attached with more electronegative atom.

If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and the statement 2 is the correct explanation of the statement 1.

Ifboth Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of the statement 1.

If Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false.

If Statement 1 is false but Statement 2 is true.

N in $N H_{4}^{+}$ is in $- 3$ oxidation state and in $N O_{2}^{-}$ it is $+ 3$ oxidation state.
