Which of the following is amphoteric oxide : Mn_(2)O_(7),Cr_(2)O_(3),CrO,V_2O_5,V_2O_4

Answer»

`V_2O_5,Cr_2O_3`
`Mn_2O_7,CrO_3`
`CrO,V_2O_5`
`V_2O_5,V_2O_4`

Solution :OXIDES in the lower OXIDATION state are basic `(i.e. CrO, V_2,O_2)`, those in higher oxidation state `(e.g. Mn_2O_7, CrO_3)` are ACIDIC and in the intermediate state `(e.g., Cr_2,O_3, V_2O_5)` are amphotertic.
