NEETChemistryd and f Block Elements
Identify the set in which all three oxides are amphoteric in nature.
Options
- ASnO₂ , PbO₂ , Al₂O₃
- BCO , NO , N₂O
- CCO₂ , SiO₂ , SO₂
- DTl₂O , Bi₂O₃ , In₂O₃
Correct answer
A. SnO₂ , PbO₂ , Al₂O₃
Step-by-step solution
Amphoteric oxides can react with both acids and bases. SnO₂ , PbO₂ , and Al₂O₃ are well-known amphoteric oxides. CO , NO , and N₂O are neutral oxides. CO₂ , SiO₂ , and SO₂ are non-metal oxides and are acidic in nature. Tl₂O , Bi₂O₃ , and In₂O₃ are oxides of heavy p-block metals and are basic in nature. Answer: SnO₂ , PbO₂ , Al₂O₃
