Question

Match the oxide given in Column-I with its property given in Column-II:

Column-I (i) Na2ONa_2O (ii) Al2O3Al_2O_3 (iii) N2ON_2O (iv) Cl2O7Cl_2O_7

Column-II (a) Neutral (b) Basic (c) Acidic (d) Amphoteric

Which of the following options is correct?

A

(i)-(b), (ii)-(a), (iii)-(d), (iv)-(c)

B

(i)-(c), (ii)-(b), (iii)-(a), (iv)-(d)

C

(i)-(a), (ii)-(d), (iii)-(b), (iv)-(c)

D

(i)-(b), (ii)-(d), (iii)-(a), (iv)-(c)

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Analyze Na2ONa_2O (Sodium Oxide): Sodium is a Group 1 alkali metal. Metallic oxides are generally Basic. It reacts with water to form NaOH.
  • Matching: (i) \rightarrow (b)
  1. Analyze Al2O3Al_2O_3 (Aluminium Oxide): Aluminium oxide shows properties of both acids and bases (reacts with HCl and NaOH). It is a classic Amphoteric oxide.
  • Matching: (ii) \rightarrow (d)
  1. Analyze N2ON_2O (Nitrous Oxide): Non-metallic oxides are usually acidic, but N2ON_2O, NO, and CO are exceptions known as Neutral oxides.
  • Matching: (iii) \rightarrow (a)
  1. Analyze Cl2O7Cl_2O_7 (Dichlorine Heptoxide): Chlorine is a non-metal (Group 17). Oxides of non-metals with high oxidation states (+7 here) are strongly Acidic (anhydride of Perchloric acid, HClO4HClO_4).
  • Matching: (iv) \rightarrow (c)
  1. Conclusion: The correct sequence is (i)-(b), (ii)-(d), (iii)-(a), (iv)-(c).
