HNC ----------
1+ x-5 = 0
x = 4
O.N,. of C = +4
ON. of N = -5
1+ x-5 = 0
x = 4
O.N,. of C = +4
ON. of N = -5
The more electronegative element is assigned the negative oxidation number.
CNO1-
O = -2
N = -3 (more electronegative than C)
C = +4
The sum of these oxidation numbers is -1, the same as the overall charge on the ion.

HNC
H= +1 (because less electro negative)
N= -3 (because N is more electro negative than C and H. Therefore, -2 from C and -1 from H)
C= +2 ( because C is less electro negative than N. Therefore, +2 from N)
Since, co-ordinate bond is present between C and N
and covalent bond between N and H
H= +1 (because less electro negative)
