Solution

a) Silicon is a metalloid. The covalent oxide is S i O subscript 2b) Acidic oxide - gives acid with water - S O subscript 2
S O subscript 2 plus H subscript 2 O ----> H subscript 2 S O subscript 3
c) Basic oxide - gives base with water - N a subscript 2 O
N a subscript 2 O plus H subscript 2 O -----> 2 NaOH
d) An amphoteric oxide - Shows both acidic and basic property
A l subscript 2 O subscript 3
