Question:

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: All the pairs of molecules (PbO, PbO₂); (SnO, SnO₂) and (GeO, GeO₂) contain amphoteric oxides.
Statement II: Glycine does not have any chiral carbon.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct option.

Show Hint

GeO is acidic, and only glycine lacks a chiral carbon. Amphoteric oxides can react with both acids and bases.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Analyzing the statements.
- Statement I: The molecules PbO, PbO₂; SnO, SnO₂; GeO, GeO₂ do not all contain amphoteric oxides. GeO is distinctly acidic, not amphoteric.
- Statement II: Glycine does not have any chiral carbon. This is true because glycine is the only amino acid that lacks a chiral center.
Step 2: Conclusion.
Statement I is incorrect, and Statement II is correct. Therefore, the correct answer is (4).
