Question

Match the following regarding nature of the oxides
$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Column -I}& \text{Column -II}\\ a.N_{2}O& \text{(i) Basic}\\ b.BaO& \text{(ii)Amphoteric}\\ c.A{s}_2{O}_3& \text{(iii) Acidic}\\ d.C{l}_2{O}_7& \text{(iv) Neutral}\end{array}$

• A. a (ii), b (i), c (iii), d (iv)
• B. a (iv), b (i), c (iii), d (ii)
• C. a (iv) , b (i), c (ii), d (iii)
• D. a (ii), b (i), c (iv), d (iii)

Answer 1

The correct option is C a (iv) , b (i), c (ii), d (iii)

Oxides of metals are basic in nature and oxides of non-metals are acidic in nature. Whereas, oxides of metalloids are amphoteric in nature.
Therefore, $C{l}_2{O}_7$ is an acidic oxide, $BaO$ is a basic oxide and $A{s}_2{O}_3$ is an amphoteric oxide.
Some neutral oxides are $N_{2}O,CO,NO$.
