The set of amphoteric oxides among ZnO , Tl ₂ O ₃, In ₂ O ₃ , B ₂ O ₃, PbO , SnO ₂ is
Options
- AZnO , Tl ₂ O ₃, PbO
- BZnO , PbO , SnO ₂
- CZnO , In ₂ O ₃, SnO ₂
- DZnO , In ₂ O ₃, PbO
Correct answer
B. ZnO , PbO , SnO ₂
Step-by-step solution
Higher oxidation states of metals are acidic. Lower oxidation are basic as they produce bases reacting with water. Amphoteric oxides produce both acids and bases with water or reacts with both acid or bases. Tl ₂ O ₃, In ₂ O ₃ basic oxides; B ₂ O ₃ acidic oxide ZnO , PbO , SnO ₂ acidic oxides
