Tellurium forms oxides of the formula Teo, TeO_(2) and Te_(3) . What is the nature of these oxides? |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :`TEO` (oxidation number of Te is `+2`) is basic. `TeO_(2)` (oxidation number of Te is `+4`) is AMPHOTERIC. `TeO_(2)` (oxidation number of Te is `+6`) is acidic. As the oxidation number of the element forming oxide increases, the acidic nature also increases. |
