Compound

A

used as a strong oxidizing agent is amphoteric in nature. It is the part of lead storage batteries. Compound

A

is:

Options

A $PbO$
B ${Pb}_{3}{O}_{4}$
C ${PbO}_{2}$
D ${PbSO}_{4}$

Correct answer

C. ${PbO}_{2}$

Step-by-step solution

${PbO}_{2}$ is amphoteric and strong oxidizing agent and also a component of lead storage batteries.

In lead storage batteries ${PbO}_{2}$ is used. In this Oxidation state of $Pb$ is $+ 4$ so, it is always reduced and behaves as oxidizing agent
