Which of the following oxides will be the least acidic?

A

`P_(4)O_(6)`

B

`P_(4)O_(10)`

C

`As_(2)O_(6)`

D

`As_(4)O_(10)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Oxides of As (a metalloid) are less acidic than P (a non -metal). Further higher the oxidation state, more is the acidic nature of the oxide. Thus `As_(2)O_(6)` will be less acidic than `As_(4)O_(10)`
