The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct order of acidic strength among the given oxides, we will analyze the acidic character based on periodic trends. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Acidic Strength**: Acidic strength of oxides generally depends on the electronegativity of the central atom and its position in the periodic table. 2. **Periodic Trends**: - **Down a Group**: As we move down a group in the periodic table, the acidity of oxides generally decreases. This is because the size of the atoms increases, leading to a decrease in electronegativity and the ability to attract electrons. - **Across a Period**: As we move from left to right across a period, the acidity of oxides generally increases. This is due to increasing electronegativity and decreasing atomic size, which enhances the ability to attract electrons. 3. **Analyze the Given Oxides**: - **Option 1**: Cl2O7, SO2, P4O10 - Cl2O7 has chlorine, which is highly electronegative and is to the right in the periodic table, making it very acidic. - SO2 has sulfur, which is less electronegative than chlorine but more than phosphorus. - P4O10 has phosphorus, which is the least acidic of the three. - **Order**: Cl2O7 > SO2 > P4O10 (Correct) - **Option 2**: CO2, N2O5, SO3 - N2O5 is more acidic than CO2 because nitrogen is to the right of carbon in the same period. - SO3 is more acidic than both CO2 and N2O5. - **Order**: SO3 > N2O5 > CO2 (Incorrect as per the given order) - **Option 3**: Na2O, MgO, Al2O3 - Al2O3 is more acidic than MgO and Na2O due to the higher electronegativity of aluminum compared to magnesium and sodium. - **Order**: Al2O3 > MgO > Na2O (Incorrect as per the given order) - **Option 4**: K2O, CaO, MgO - MgO is the most acidic, followed by CaO, and then K2O. - **Order**: MgO > CaO > K2O (Incorrect as per the given order) 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the only correct order of acidic strength is found in Option 1: **Cl2O7 > SO2 > P4O10**. ### Final Answer: The correct order of acidic strength is **Cl2O7 > SO2 > P4O10** (Option 1). ---
