Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The equations for the reaction between the given set of compounds has to be written
Concept Information:
Oxides of metals and non-metals may be,
Acidic-exhibits acidic character
Basic-exhibits basic character
Amphoteric-exhibits both acidic and basic character
Neutral-does not exhibit any of the acidic or basic character
Except Beryllium oxide (
None of the oxides of non-metals shows basic property.
Oxides of non-metals with higher oxidation number of the main group elements are highly acidic whereas, those with lesser oxidation number does not exhibit measurable acidic properties.
Beryllium oxide (
Reactions of metal and non-metal oxides:
Similar to the normal acid-base reactions, reactions of acidic oxides with bases and basic oxides with acids produce salt and water as products.
Reaction of basic metallic oxides with water results in metal hydroxides.
To write: The equation for the reaction between
