Assign oxidation numbers to each element in this compound. no

NO ---> N +2 and O -2

Explanation:

Oxidation numbers are assigned to the elements of a compound to keep a track of the number of electrons each atom has.

Here we have a compound NO (Nitrogen Oxide). The Nitrogen is assigned an oxidation number of +2 while Oxygen in this compound is assigned an oxidation number of -2.

So the algebraic sum of the oxidation numbers of the elements in the compound NO is equal to zero.

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
