CN- group has an overall charge of -1. C has oxidation of +2 and N -3 in CN since N has more negativity than C. In other words, N competes and wins with C when both try to take electrons to satisfy their need to become stable. Cheers.

What is the oxidation number of nitrogen atom cyanide ion?
Cyanide ion is an anion. Nitrrogen atom shows -3 oxidation number.
What is the oxidation number of N in CuCN?
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.
What is the oxidation number of Fe in K3Fe CN6?
a)3 b)2 c)1 d)4 Fe is the transitional metal K3[Fe(CN)6] , we know that Potassium, K, has an oxidation number of +1 The oxidation number of CN= -1, so 6*CN has an oxidation number of -6 so therefore Fe - 6 = -3 Fe = -3 + 6 = +3 The oxidation number of Fe is +3. so A
What is the abbreviation for cyanide on the periodic table?
Cyanide isn't on the periodic table, it is a polyatomic ion. Its symbol is CN and has a -1 oxidation state
What is the oxidation state of carbon in isocyanide?
nitrogen being more electronegative than carbon, the contribution of co-ordinate bond is neglected and carbon provides two electrons to nitrogen. so oxidation number of carbon in iso cyanide is +2
What is the oxidation number of nitrogen atom cyanide ion?
Cyanide ion is an anion. Nitrrogen atom shows -3 oxidation number.
What is the final oxidation numbers of gold and zinc after the cyanide process?
the oxidation number is from 0 to 3+
What is the oxidation number of N in CuCN?
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.
Oxidation state of N in cyanide?
I think +3 oxidation state
