The correct order of acidic strength is
Show Hint
The acidic strength of non-metallic oxides increases along the periodic table.
- $K_2O > CaO > MgO$
- $CO_2 > N_2O_5 > SO_3$
- $Na_2O > MgO > Al_2O_3$
- $Cl_2O_7 > SO_2 > P_4O_{10}$
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The correct order of acidic strength is Cl2O7 > SO2 >P4O10
For non-metallic oxides, acidic strength increases along the periodic table.
The correct order of acidic strength is based on the ability of the compounds to release protons (H+) in an aqueous solution.
- Cl2O7 (dichlorine heptoxide) is the strongest acid among the three. This is because it can readily release two H+ ions when dissolved in water, leading to the formation of two HClO4 molecules.
- SO2 (sulfur dioxide) is the next strongest acid as it can release one H+ ion in an aqueous solution, forming H2SO3.
- P4O10 (tetra phosphorus decaoxide) is the weakest acid among the three. It reacts with water to form phosphoric acid (H3PO4) but releases fewer H+ ions compared to Cl2O7 and SO2.
Hence, the correct order of acidic strength is Cl2O7 > SO2 > P4O10.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

The center of a disk of radius $ r $ and mass $ m $ is attached to a spring of spring constant $ k $, inside a ring of radius $ R>r $ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following Hooke’s law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as $ T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} $. The correct expression for $ \omega $ is ( $ g $ is the acceleration due to gravity):

Group 15 Elements
Group 15 elements are also known as nitrogen group elements or nitrogen family.
It consists of:
- Nitrogen (N)
- Phosphorus (P)
- Arsenic (As)
- Antimony (Sb)
- Bismuth (Bi)
- Moscovium (Mc)
They are present on the right side of the periodic table. All the elements are arranged based on their atomic weight. The elements with similar properties reside in a column called the group.
All Group 15 elements have the electron configuration ns2np3 in their outer shell, where n is the principal quantum number.
