Question

Identify the following oxides with neutral, acidic, basic and amphoteric oxides.

$i\left){\mathrm{Al}}_2{O}_3\mathrm{ii}\right)\mathrm{MgO}\mathrm{iii}\left){\mathrm{SO}}_2\mathrm{iv}\right)\mathrm{CO}v\left){\mathrm{Na}}_{2}O\mathrm{vi}\right)N_{2}O\mathrm{vii}\left)\mathrm{ZnO}\mathrm{viii}\right){\mathrm{CO}}_2\mathrm{ix}\left){\mathrm{SO}}_{3}x\right)\mathrm{CaO}.$

Answer 1

Neutral oxides:$\mathrm{CO};N_{2}O$

Acidic oxides: ${\mathrm{SO}}_2;{\mathrm{CO}}_2;{\mathrm{SO}}_3$

Basic oxides: $\mathrm{MgO};{\mathrm{Na}}_{2}O;\mathrm{CaO}$

Amphoteric oxides: ${\mathrm{Al}}_2{O}_3;\mathrm{ZnO}$
