The correct order of basicity of oxides of vanadium is

Options

  1. AV2O3>V2O4>V2O5{V}_{2}{O}_{3} > {V}_{2}{O}_{4} > {V}_{2}{O}_{5}
  2. BV2O3>V2O5>V2O4{V}_{2}{O}_{3} > {V}_{2}{O}_{5} > {V}_{2}{O}_{4}
  3. CV2O5>V2O4>V2O3{V}_{2}{O}_{5} > {V}_{2}{O}_{4} > {V}_{2}{O}_{3}
  4. DV2O4>V2O3>V2O5{V}_{2}{O}_{4} > {V}_{2}{O}_{3} > {V}_{2}{O}_{5}

Correct answer

A. V2O3>V2O4>V2O5{V}_{2}{O}_{3} > {V}_{2}{O}_{4} > {V}_{2}{O}_{5}

Step-by-step solution

V2O3{V}_{2}{O}_{3}:~In,& V2O3{V}_{2}{O}_{3}, the oxidation state of~V\text{V}~is as follows

2(x)+3(−2)=02 ( x ) + 3 ( - 2 ) = 0

⇒2x−6=0⇒ 2x - 6 = 0

⇒x=62=3⇒ x = \dfrac{6}{2} = 3

The oxidation state of~VV~in& V2O3{V}_{2}{O}_{3}~is +3. The vanadium is present in its lowest oxidation state. The vanadium tends to donate the pair of electrons. Hence, it is basic oxide.

V2O5{V}_{2}{O}_{5}:~In& V2O5{V}_{2}{O}_{5}, the oxidation state of~VV~is as follows

2(x)+5(−2)=02 ( x ) + 5 ( - 2 ) = 0

⇒2(x)−10=0⇒ 2 ( x ) - 10 = 0

⇒x=102=5⇒ x = \dfrac{10}{2} = 5

The oxidation state of~VV~in& V2O5{V}_{2}{O}_{5}~is +5.& The Vanadium tends to donate and accept the pair of electrons.& It is amphoteric oxide.

V2O4{V}_{2}{O}_{4}:~In& V2O4{V}_{2}{O}_{4}, the oxidation state of~VV~is as follows

2(x)+4(−2)=02 ( x ) + 4 ( - 2 ) = 0

⇒2(x)−8=0⇒ 2 ( x ) - 8 = 0

⇒x=82=4⇒ x = \dfrac{8}{2} = 4

The oxidation state of~VV~in& V2O4{V}_{2}{O}_{4}~is +4.& The Vanadium is present in its other low oxidation state.& The Vanadium tends to donate and accept the pair of electrons.& It is amphoteric oxide and less basic than& V2O3{V}_{2}{O}_{3}, more basic than~V2O5{V}_{2}{O}_{5}.

So, the correct order of basicity of oxides of vanadium is~V2O3>V2O4>V2O5{V}_{2}{O}_{3} > {V}_{2}{O}_{4} > {V}_{2}{O}_{5}.
