An element X occurs in short period having configuration `ns^(2)np^(1)`. The formula and nature of its oxide is:

A

`XO_(3)`, basic

B

`XO_(3)` acidic

C

`X_(2)O_(3)`, amphoteric

D

`X_(2)O_(3)` basic

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`ns^(2)p^(1)` is the electronic configuration of III A period. `Al_(2)O_(3)` is amphoteric oxide.
