Nitrogen has highest possible oxidation number of +5.
It achieves this in compounds like N2O5 and HNO3 .
But it must be remembered that the covalency of nitrogen remains 4 only as it cannot exceed it.
Nitrogen does not have any d-orbitals. Hence it can have maximum covalency of 4.
The species of nitrogen that has the highest oxidation number is Nitrogen 5+. Nitrogen 5+ can be seen in use in HNO3 other nitrate salts.
+5 in compounds like N2O5 or HNO3
+5 in HNO3
It varies on the compound of nitrogen. -3 in nitrides is the most common. But oxidation number up to +5 is possible.
It never has -2 oxidation number. Nitrogen oxidation numbers are possible: -3 (nitrides), 0 (elemental), +3 (nitrites), +5 (nitrates). Also +1, +2 and maybe +4 are possible (in Nitro-oxides only).
NO2 is a acidic gas. Nitrogen shows +4 oxidation number.
Oxidation number of N is +1. Oxidation number of O is -2.

+4 for nitrogen
Nitrogen's oxidation number is -4.Carbon's oxidation number is +3.The cyanide ion has -1 charge. Nitrogen is in -3 state. By balancing the charges: the oxidation number of carbon is +4.
The oxidation number of NO, nitrogen oxide, is +3.
Nitrogen has an oxidation number of -3. Since it is in group 15, it has 5 valence electrons. It wants to have eight, so it will gain three electrons. Electrons are negative, that's why the oxidation number is negative.
zero for each nitrogen
It depends on the compound. Nitrogen has compounds in which the oxidation numbers range from -3 to +5.
+4 in nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
In NF3, the element fluorine is more electronegative compared to nitrogen. The oxidation number of F in NF3 is -1. Lets assume then the oxidation number of N is x x + 3(-1) =0 x= +3 Oxidation number of Nitrogen in NF 3 is +3. In NI3, the element fnitrogen is more electronegative compared to iodine. The oxidation number of N in NI3 is -3. Lets assume then the oxidation number of I is y (-3) + 3y) =0 x= +1 Oxidation number of Iodine in NI3 is +1 Oxidation number of Nitrogen in NF 3 is +3. +3, as there is three halogens in each compund, therefore their oxidation number will add up to -3 and so to balance it out, nitrogen must be +3.
