Question:

Identify the correct order of acidic strength of $CO_2, CuO, CaO, H_2O$

Updated On: Jun 14, 2022
  • $CaO < CuO < H20 < CO_2$
  • $H_2O < CuO < CaO < CO_2$
  • $CaO < H_2O < CuO < CO_2$
  • $H_2O < CO_2 < CaO < CuO$

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$CO_2$ is acidic oxide, $H_2O$ is neutral, CaO is strongly basic and CuO is weakly basic. Therefore, order of acid strength is : $ \, \, \, \, \, \, CaO < CuO < H_2O < CO_2$

P-Block Elements

  • P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
  • P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.

P block elements consist of:
