In which of the following reactions can the oxidation number of the nitrogen be said to have increased?
In option A, the oxidation number of Nitrogen increased from +2 to +4.
In Option B, the oxidation number of Nitrogen decreased from +2 to +1 (Bearing in mind that the O.N of chlorine in hypochlorate, OCl\(^-\) is +1)
In Option C, the oxidation number of Nitrogen decreased from +2 to +1
In Option D, the oxidation number of Nitrogen decreased from +2 to +1 (Bearing in mind that the O.N of bromine in hypobromate OBr\(^-\) is +1)
Therefore, the answer is option A
