Identify the set of acidic oxides.
Options
- A( Na ₂ O , CaO , BaO )
- B( ZnO , PbO , BeO )
- C( CO , NO , N ₂ O )
- D( Mn ₂ O ₇, CrO ₃, ~V ₂ O ₅ )
Correct answer
D. ( Mn ₂ O ₇, CrO ₃, ~V ₂ O ₅ )
Step-by-step solution
Acidic oxides ( Mn ₂ O ₇, CrO ₃, ~V ₂ O ₅ ) (due to higher oxidation state of central metal) Basic oxide ( Na ₂ O , CaO , BaO ) (due to lower oxidation state of central metal) Alkaline and alkali metal oxide are always basic. Neutral oxides ( CO , NO , N ₂ O ) Amphoteric oxides ( ZnO , PbO , BeO ) (acidic as well as basic) Hence, option (4) is correct.
