The E.N. of H,X,O are `2.1, 0.8` and `3.5` respectively comment on the nature of the compound `H-O-X`, that is :

A

Basic

B

Acidic

C

Amphoteric

D

Can't be predicted

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`H - O int X`
`:. O-H` bond will break `:.` basic
`ubrace(2.1" "3.5)_(1.4) ubrace(" "0.8)_(2.7)`
More electrongegativity difference
`:.` it would break first `:.` it is basic in nature
