The amphoteric oxide among V ₂ O ₃, ~V ₂ O ₄ and V ₂ O ₅ , upon reaction with alkali leads to formation of an oxide anion. The oxidation state of V in the oxide anion is :
Options
- A+3
- B+4
- C+7
- D+5
Correct answer
D. +5
Step-by-step solution
V ₂ O ₅ is amphoteric oxide. V ₂ O ₅ gives VO ₄ ³⁻ on reaction with alkali oxidation state of V in VO ₄ ³⁻=+5
