Given below are two statements : Statement I: The number of pairs among [Al_2O_3, Cr_2O_3], [Cl_2O_7, Mn_2O_7], [Na_2O, V_2O_3] and [CO, N_2O] that contain oxides of same nature (acidic, basic, neutral or amphoteric) is 4. Statement II: Among Na_2O, Al_2O_3, CO and Cl_2O_7, the most basic and acidic oxides are Na_2O and Cl_2O_7, respectively. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Statement I: Al_2O_3 and Cr_2O_3 are both amphoteric oxides. Cl_2O_7 and Mn_2O_7 are both acidic oxides. Na_2O and V_2O_3 are both basic oxides. CO and N_2O are both neutral oxides. All 4 pairs contain oxides of the same nature. Hence, Statement I is true. Statement II: Na_2O is a strongly basic oxide. Al_2O_3 is an amphoteric oxide. CO is a neutral oxide. Cl_2O_7 is a strongly acidic oxide. Thus, the most basic oxide is Na_2O and the most acidic oxide is Cl_2O_7. Hence, Statement II is true. Both Statement I and Statement II are true. Answer: Both Statement I and Statement II are true
