Which of the following is most acidic ?A. `N_(2)O_(5)`B. `P_(2)O_(5)`C. `As_(2)O_(5)`D. `Sb_(2)O_(5)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Acidic nature of oxides decreases down a group. So, `N_(2)O_(5)` is most acidic.
Another reason of acidic strength of `N_(2)O_(5)` is that the electronegativity of `N` is maximum in the given Vth group elements. As we know that on increasing the electronegativity character, acidic nature increases.
