My Question

The oxidation state of an individual nitrogen atom in NH2OH is -3. The nitrogen atom is bonded to two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Oxygen has an electronegativity value higher than nitrogen, so it attracts the bonding pair of electrons towards itself, making the nitrogen partially negative.
