p - block elements form acidic, basic and amphoteric oxides. Explain each property by giving two examples and also write the reactions of these oxides with water.
(a) What are amphoteric oxides? Give two examples of amphoteric oxides. (b) Choose the acidic oxides, basic oxides and neutral oxides from the following: Na2O:CO2;CO;SO2;MgO;N2O;H2O. (c) Which of the following are amphoteric oxides: MgO,ZnO,P2O3,Al2O3,NO2
Oxides of metals are basic while those of non--metals are acidic. Explain with example.
What is the difference between acidic and basic salts? Give example
