Which of the following oxides will be the least acidic?A. `As_(4)O_(6)`B. `As_(4)O_(10)`C. `P_(4)O_(10)`D. `P_(4)O_(6)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
As the oxidation state of central atom increases the acidic character character increases, so the correct order of acidic character is
`overset(+5)P_(4)O_(10) gt overset(+3)P_(4)O_(6) gt overset(+5)(A)s_(4)O_(10) gt overset(+3)(A)s_(4)O_(6)`
and hence, `As_(4)O_(6)` in least acidic.
