Solution

The substances where carbon can exhibit oxidation states from –4 to +4 are listed in the following table.
$\begin{matrix} S u b s t a n c e & O . N . o f c a r b o n C H_{2} C l_{2} & 0 C I C \equiv C C I & + 1 H C \equiv C H & - 1 C H C l_{3}, & + 2 C H_{3} C l & - 2 C l_{3} C - C C l_{3} & + 3 H_{3} C - C H_{3} & - 3 C C l_{4}, C O_{2} & + 4 C H_{4} & - 4 \end{matrix}$
The substances where nitrogen can exhibit oxidation states from –3 to +5 are listed in the following table.
$\begin{matrix} S u b s t a n c e & O . N . o f n i t r o g e n N_{2} & 0 N_{2} O & + 1 N_{2} H_{2} & - 1 N O & + 2 N_{2} H_{4} & - 2 N_{2} O_{3} & + 3 N H_{3} & - 3 N O_{2} & + 4 N_{2} O_{5} & + 5 \end{matrix}$
