| Indicate the oxidation state of nitrogen in the nitrogen molecule. Is this oxidation state for nitrogen high, low, or intermediate? What are the redox properties of molecular nitrogen?
N2 (0), oxidation state 0 for nitrogen is intermediate. Therefore, nitrogen can both increase this oxidation state, being a reducing agent, and lower it, being an oxidizing agent.
