1 because oxygen is -2 so then N must be 2 divided by two =1

N2O

2(N) + (-2) = 0

2 times N (the unknown) + the oxidation number of oxygen = 0 because its a neutral compound

so 2N = 2

N=2/2 = +1

Chemical formula: NO

According to oxidation number rules, oxygen will have an oxidation number of -2 in almost every situation. So, NO's charge is neutral, so if O is -2, N must be +2
