Q. Which of the following sequence correctly represents the decreasing acidic nature of oxides?
A) ${Li}_{2}O > BeO > CO_{2} > N_{2}O_{3} > B_{2}O_{3}$
B) $CO_{2} > N_{2}O_{3} > B_{2}O_{3} > LiO > BeO$
C) $N_{2}O_{3} > CO_{2} > B_{2}O_{3} > BeO > {Li}_{2}O$
D) $CO_{2} > BeO > {Li}_{2}O > B_{2}O_{3} > N_{2}O_{3}$
Explanation
(c)
On passing from left to right in a period, acidic character of the normal oxides of the element goes on increasing with increases in electronegativity
