JEE Main 2024 — 27 January, Shift 2 — Question 72

Which of the following cannot function as an oxidising agent?

  1. Option A:

    N3−\mathrm{N}^{3-}

    Correct
  2. Option B:

    SO42−\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}

  3. Option C:

    BrO3−\mathrm{BrO}_{3}^{-}

  4. Option D:

    MnO4−\mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{-}

Answer: A

Step-by-step solution

In N3−\mathrm{N}^{3-} ion ' N ' is present in its lowest possible oxidation state, hence it cannot be reduced further because of which

it cannot act as an oxidizing agent.
