The acidic, basic and amphoteric oxides, respectively, are
Options
- AN a 2 O ,   S O 3 ,   A l 2 O 3
- BC l 2 O ,   C a O ,   P 4 O 10
- CN 2 O 3 ,   L i 2 O ,   A l 2 O 3
- DM g O ,   C l 2 O ,   A l 2 O 3
Correct answer
C. N 2 O 3 ,   L i 2 O ,   A l 2 O 3
Step-by-step solution
Non-metal oxides are acidic in nature as they produce acidic solution by reacting with water, so here Cl 2 O ,   P 4 O 10 ,   SO 3 are acidic oxides which produce HOCl ,   H 3 PO 4 ,   H 2 SO 4 respectively, with water. Alkali metal and alkaline earth metal oxides are basic in nature, as they produce metal hydroxide solution with water and metal hydroxides are basic in nature. Here, Na 2 O ,   CaO ,   Li 2 O ,   MgO are basic hydroxides which form NaOH ,   Ca OH 2 ,   Li
