Solution

(1) CO = Neutral

(2) B₂O₃ = Acidic

Being acidic, it reacts with bases to form salts. It reacts with NaOH to form sodium metaborate.

(3) SiO₂= Acidic

Being acidic, it reacts with bases to form salts. It reacts with NaOH to form sodium silicate.

(4) CO₂ = Acidic

Being acidic, it reacts with bases to form salts. It reacts with NaOH to form sodium carbonate.

(5) Al₂O₃ = Amphoteric

Amphoteric substances react with both acids and bases. Al₂O₃ reacts with both NaOH and H₂SO₄.

(6) PbO₂ = Amphoteric

Amphoteric substances react with both acids and bases. PbO₂ reacts with both NaOH and H₂SO₄.

(7) Tl₂O₃ = Basic

Being basic, it reacts with acids to form salts. It reacts with HCl to form thallium chloride.
