The assumed oxidation number of nitrogen in ammonia (3+) in this question, is wrongly signed:
The correct oxidation number if nitrogen in NITRIDES (like in ammonia NH3, ammonium NH4+ and amino groups -NH2) is minus 3, so hydrogen has oxidation value of plus 1(one, like in H+) which is in fact the only possible form when attached to nonmetals.

What is the oxidation number of N3H?
Assuming you mean NH3 since there is no N3H ....The charge on NH3 is zero; it doesn't have an oxidation number. The oxidation number of N in NH3 is 3- The oxidation number of each H in NH3 is 1+
What is the oxidation state of nitrogen in ammonia?
In NH3 the oxidation state of Nitrogen is -3. It has 3 extra electrons in three polar covalent bonds, 'donated' from three bonded hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen has an oxidation state of +1 in this compound.
Does NH3 has an oxidation number od -1?
Nitrogen is more electronegative than Hydrogen. So +1 for each hydrogen and -3 for nitrogen
What is the atomic number of NH3?
NH3 is a compound, not an element. It does not have an atomic number. If you mean the number of atoms in the molecule the answer is 4: 1 nitrogen and 3 hydrogen. This is not the same as atomic number.
Is nh3 an element compound or mixture?
No, NH3 is not an element. To be an element, a substance must have all the same type of atom. This is a chemical compound, made of two types of elements: Nitrogen and Hydrogen. In one molecule of this compound there are 4 atoms: 1 Nitrogen atom and three Hydrogen atoms.

When does hydrogen have a oxidation state of 1?
Hydrogen has an oxidation state of +1 whenever it interacts with a more electronegative element to form a compound (NH3) or whenever it forms an ionic-bonded acid (HClO4) or functions as a cation (NaHCO3). Hydrogen has an oxidation state of 0 in its elemental form. (H2) Hydrogen has an oxidation state of -1 whenever it forms and ionic salt as an anion. (LiH).
What does H2 do to N2 to make NH3?
It reacts with it. The reaction is a redx reaction. Nitrogen is reduced (its oxidation number goes from 0 to -3) and hydrogen is oxidised (its oxidation number goes from 0 to +1)
Is nh3 an element compound or mixture?
No, NH3 is not an element. To be an element, a substance must have all the same type of atom. This is a chemical compound, made of two types of elements: Nitrogen and Hydrogen. In one molecule of this compound there are 4 atoms: 1 Nitrogen atom and three Hydrogen atoms.
Is NH3 a hydrocarbon?
No, hydrocarbons contain carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) NH3 is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen.
Is ammonia an element or a compound explain?

Is ammonia an element by itself?
No. Ammonia, NH3, is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen.
Is ammonia a compound or element explain?
it is a compound , it is made up of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH3
Is ammonia gas an element or a compound?
Ammonia is a compound. It's chemical formula is NH3. It is a compound of Nitrogen and Hydrogen.
