Question:
Amphoteric Oxide among the oxide
Amphoteric Oxide among the oxide
Updated On: Apr 20, 2024
- Ag2O
- BeO
- SnO2
- CO2
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Among the options given, the amphoteric oxide is BeO, beryllium oxide.
Amphoteric oxides are oxides that can act as both acidic and basic compounds. They can react with both acids and bases to form salts and water. BeO is an example of an amphoteric oxide because it can react with acids to form salts and with bases to form beryllates.
The other options listed do not exhibit amphoteric behavior:
Ag2O (silver(I) oxide) is a basic oxide.
SnO2 (tin(IV) oxide) is an acidic oxide.
CO2 (carbon dioxide) is an acidic oxide.
