NEETChemistryClassification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties
Match List I with List II. List I (Oxide) List II (Nature) A. N₂O I. Acidic B. BaO II. Basic C. Al₂O₃ III. Neutral D. Cl₂O₇ IV. Amphoteric Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- AA-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III
- BA-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
- CA-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
- DA-I, B-IV, C-II, D-III
Correct answer
B. A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
Step-by-step solution
N₂O is a neutral oxide of nitrogen. BaO is an oxide of an alkaline earth metal (barium), hence it is basic in nature. Al₂O₃ reacts with both acids and bases, making it an amphoteric oxide. Cl₂O₇ is an oxide of a halogen (chlorine) in its highest oxidation state, which is strongly acidic. Therefore, the correct matching is A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I. Answer: A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
