Which of the metallic oxides is not an acidic oxide?A. `CrO_(3)`B. `Mn_(2)O_(7)`C. `V_(2)O_(3)`D. `V_(2)O_(5)` |
Answer» Correct Answer - 3 As a general rule,only nonmetallic oxides are acidic but oxides of some metals in higher oxidation states also have acidic character.For example : `SnO_(2)+H_(2)OrarrH_(2)SnO_(3)` `Mn_(2)O_(7)+H_(2)Orarr2HMnO_(4)` `CrO_(3)+H_(2)OrarrH_(2)CrO_(4)` In vanadium there is a gradual change from the basic `V_(2)O_(3)` to less basic `V_(2)O_(4)` and to amphoteric (through mainly acidic) `V_(2)O_(5)` in general.metallic oxides are basic. |
