Options
- A(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
- B(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
- C(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
- D(A)-(IV), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)
Correct answer
B. (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
Step-by-step solution
N ₂ O is a neutral oxide. Ga ₂ O ₃ is an amphoteric oxide, as gallium is a borderline metal in Group 13. P ₄ O ₁₀ is an oxide of a non-metal (phosphorus) and is strongly acidic. Bi ₂ O ₃ is an oxide of a heavy metal (bismuth) in Group 15 and is predominantly basic. Therefore, the correct matching is (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II). Answer: (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
