(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
Please scroll down to see the correct answer and solution guide.
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
