Updated On: Dec 11, 2024
- acidic
- basic
- amphoteric
- neutral
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation

Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): An element in the extreme left of the periodic table forms acidic oxides.
Statement (II): Acid is formed during the reaction between water and oxide of a reactive element present in the extreme right of the periodic table.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:- Which of the following is an acidic oxide?
- Among \(\text{CrO}\), \(\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_3\), and \(\text{CrO}_3\), the sum of spin-only magnetic moment values of basic and amphoteric oxides is ______ \( \times 10^{-2} \, \text{BM} \) (nearest integer).
Given: Atomic number of Cr is 24. - Among the following oxides of p-block elements, the number of oxides having amphoteric nature is: \[\text{Cl}_2\text{O}_7, \, \text{CO}, \, \text{PbO}_2, \, \text{N}_2\text{O}, \, \text{NO}, \, \text{Al}_2\text{O}_3, \, \text{SiO}_2, \, \text{N}_2\text{O}_5, \, \text{SnO}_2\]
