Identify the basic oxide from the following :
Options
- ACr ₂ O ₃
- BCrO ₃
- CV ₂ O ₅
- DV ₂ O ₃
Correct answer
D. V ₂ O ₃
Step-by-step solution
The oxides of transition metal that contain metals in lower oxidation state are considered to be basic and basic character of metal oxide decreases along the period. V ₂ O ₃ present in its lowest oxidation state The vanadium tends to donate the pair of electrons Hence it is basic oxide.
