1.	Name the elements of the second period (a) which forms a strongly basic oxide and (b) which forms a strongly acidic oxide.
Answer» Solution :LI, Be,B,C,N,O F and Ne are teh elements of SECOND PERIOD . Metallic nature is period decreases gradually from left to right and non metallic nature increases. Lithium is most metal.ic in the second period. (a) Strongly basic oxide is formed by lithium . The oxide is `Li_2O` (b) Though fluorine and oxygen are highly electro neagtive, they do not form oxiees . Strongly acidic oxide is formed by NITROGEN The oxide is `N_2O_5`
