Question

Which of the following are neutral oxides?

• A. $CO$
• B. $NO$
• C. $N_{2}O$
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Neutral oxides are those which do not form acids or bases when they react with $H_{2}O$. In other words, the resulting solution is neutral.
1. $CO+H_{2}O⟶C{O}_2+H_2$

2. Nitrous oxide (N₂O) and nitric oxide (NO) are neutral gaseous oxides of nitrogen. These two nitrogen oxides do not react with water to form oxoacids such as $HN{O}_{2}andHN{O}_3$.
