Options
- A(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)
- B(A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(III), (D)-(II)
- C(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
- D(A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)
Correct answer
C. (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
Step-by-step solution
N₂O is a neutral oxide of nitrogen. Al₂O₃ is a well-known amphoteric oxide, reacting with both acids and bases. SrO is an alkaline earth metal oxide, which is basic in nature. SO₃ is a non-metal oxide in a high oxidation state, making it strongly acidic. Therefore, the correct matching is (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II). Answer: (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
