What is the oxidation state of nitrogen in N2?
O A. +5
O B.-3
O C. +3
O D. O

D) 0 (zero)

Explanation:

There's a rule that neutral compounds (compound) without charges have oxidation of zero. Also, another formula that if two atoms of the same element make one single molecules such as diatomics molecules are O2, N2, I2, Br2 oxidation states are zero, thus here N is 0 (Zero) as well.

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
