NTA Abhyas NEET2020Chemistryp Block Elements (Group 15, 16, 17 & 18)Practice
Among A l 2 O 3 , S i O 2 , P 2 O 3 and S O 2 the correct order of acid strength is
Options
- AA l 2 O 3 < S i O 2 < S O 2 < P 2 O 3
- BA l 2 O 3 < S i O 2 < P 2 O 3 < S O 2
- CS i O 2 < S O 2 < A l 2 O 3 < P 2 O 3
- DS O 2 < P 2 O 3 < S i O 2 < A l 2 O 3
Correct answer
B. A l 2 O 3 < S i O 2 < P 2 O 3 < S O 2
Step-by-step solution
While moving along a group from top to bottom, acidic nature of oxides decreases and along a period left to right, acidic nature increases. So, A l 2 O 3 < S i O 2 < P 2 O 3 < S O 2
