A pair of amphoteric oxides is
Options
- AAl ₂ O ₃, Li ₂ O
- BBeO , BO ₃
- CBeO , MgO
- DBeO , ZnO
Correct answer
D. BeO , ZnO
Step-by-step solution
BeO , Al ₂ O ₃ and ZnO are amphoteric in nature MgO and Li ₂ O are basic in nature whereas BO ₃ is acidic. Thus, the pair of amphoteric oxides are BeO and ZnO .
