  2. Nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate

    In the NO − 3 anion, the oxidation state of the central nitrogen atom is V (+5). This corresponds to the highest possible oxidation number of nitrogen. Nitrate is a potentially powerful oxidizer as evidenced by its explosive behaviour at high temperature when it is detonated in ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3), or black powder, ignited by the shock wave of a primary explosive.

  4. Oxidation state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidation_state

    In chemistry, the oxidation state, or oxidation number, is the hypothetical charge of an atom if all of its bonds to other atoms were fully ionic. It describes the degree of oxidation (loss of electrons ) of an atom in a chemical compound .

  5. NOx - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOx

    NO y is the class of compounds comprising NO x and the NO z compounds produced from the oxidation of NO x which include nitric acid, nitrous acid (HONO), dinitrogen pentoxide (N 2 O 5), peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN), alkyl nitrates (RONO 2), peroxyalkyl nitrates (ROONO 2), the nitrate radical (NO 3), and peroxynitric acid (HNO 4).

  6. Nitrate radical - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate_radical

    Nitrogen trioxide or nitrate radical is an oxide of nitrogen with formula NO 3, consisting of three oxygen atoms covalently bound to a nitrogen atom. This highly unstable blue compound has not been isolated in pure form, but can be generated and observed as a short-lived component of gas, liquid, or solid systems.

  7. Gallium nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium_nitrate

    Gallium (Ga) was discovered in 1875 by P.É. Lecoq de Boisbaudran. [3] In most of its compounds, gallium is found with an oxidation number of 3+. Gallium chemically behaves similarly to iron 3+ when forming a coordination complex. [4]

  8. Theoretical oxygen demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theoretical_oxygen_demand

    Theoretical oxygen demand (ThOD) is the calculated amount of oxygen required to oxidize a compound to its final oxidation products. [1] However, there are some differences between standard methods that can influence the results obtained: for example, some calculations assume that nitrogen released from organic compounds is generated as ammonia, whereas others allow for ammonia oxidation to ...

  9. Organic redox reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_redox_reaction

    Organic redox reactions: the Birch reduction. Organic reductions or organic oxidations or organic redox reactions are redox reactions that take place with organic compounds.In organic chemistry oxidations and reductions are different from ordinary redox reactions, because many reactions carry the name but do not actually involve electron transfer.
