(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

Right Answer is:

SOLUTION

(a)Oxides of metals which have both acidic as well as basic behaviour are known as amphoteric oxides. Such metallic oxides react with acids as well as a base to produce salt and water. Examples of Amphoteric oxides are aluminium oxide and zinc oxide

(b)
Acidic oxide:  CO2,SO2
Basic oxide: MgO,Na2O
Neutral oxide: H2O,CO,N2O

(c)Al2O3,ZnO
