The correct order of basicity of oxides of vanadium is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
:~In,& , the oxidation state of~~is as follows
The oxidation state of~~in& ~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.
:~In& , the oxidation state of~~is as follows
The oxidation state of~~in& ~is +5.& The Vanadium tends to donate and accept the pair of electrons.& It is amphoteric oxide.
:~In& , the oxidation state of~~is as follows
The oxidation state of~~in& ~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& , more basic than~.
So, the correct order of basicity of oxides of vanadium is~.
