1.	(a ) Carbon dioxide is non -polar while water is polar. What conclusion do you draw about their structure from for this fact ? (b) Classify the following compounds into acidic basic and amphoteric oxides . AI_(2) O_(3),CI_(2)O_(7) .
Answer» SOLUTION :(a ) `Ooverset rarr =Coversetrarr = O` is LINEAR bond moments are equal and opposite net dipole moment is zero. Water is a BENT molecule it has a net dipole moment . ( b) `AI_(2)O_(3)` is AMPHOTERIC where as `CI_(2) O_(7)` is an acidic OXIDE.
