Q. All the metals form oxides of the type MO except

A) Copper
B) Barium
C) Silver
D) Lead
Explanation

(c)
All bivalent metal cations form oxide of type MO.
Copper forms two types of oxides $i.e$., ${Cu}_{2}O,\ CuO$
Barium forms $BaO$
Silver forms ${Ag}_{2}O$
Lead forms $PbO,\ {PbO}_{2}$
Hence, silver cannot form MO type of oxide because it forms monovalent cation (${Ag}^{+}$).
