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-intX" "thereforeO-H "bond will break"thereforebasic`
`underset(1.4) underbrace(2.1" "3.5)" "underset(2.7) underbrace(0.8)`
More electronegeativity difference `therefore` it would break first `therefore` it is basic in nature
