D Correct answer
Explanation

'$Al$' and '$Zn$' reacts with both acids and bases. So, these are amphoteric in nature. So, oxides of these elements are amphoteric oxides.

Out of the following oxides, the amphoteric oxide is:

  1. $Fe _2O _3$
  2. $Al _2O _3$
  3. $P _2O _5$
  4. $N _2O$

B Correct answer
Explanation

Aluminium reacts with acids and bases. So, it is amphoteric in nature. The oxide of an amphoteric element is called amphoteric oxide. So, $Al _{2}O _{3} $ is an amphoteric oxide.

Pick the group which does not contain a neutral oxide.

  1. $NO _2, P _4O _{10}, Al _2O _3, NO$
  2. $MgO, N _2O _5, SO _3, N _2O$
  3. $CO _2, SO _3, CaO, XeO _3$
  4. $CO, SiO _2, SnO _2, Na _2O _3$

A Correct answer
Explanation

Neutral oxide are those which do not react with acids as well as bases such as $NO,{ N } _{ 2 }O,CO,{ O } _{ 2 }{ F } _{ 2 }$.

So only option $C$ does not contain neutral oxide.

Multiple choice chemistry chemistry of non-metals oxides of elements simple oxides oxygen

Among the following which one has more acidic character?

  1. $B _{2}O _{3}$
  2. $CO _{2}$
  3. $N _{2}O _{3}$
  4. None of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

$B _2O _3$ is more acidic than $CO _2$ and $N _2O _5$ because oxides of elements of 13th group of modern periodic table is more acidic than than 14th and 15th group elements.
