Name the elements of the second period
(a) which forms a strongly basic oxide and (b) which forms a strongly acidic oxide.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Metallic nature in a period decreases gradually from left to right.
Lithium is most metallic and forms `(Li_(2)O)`. Though fluorine and oxygen are very highly electronegative, they do not form oxides. Strongly acidic oxide is formed by nitrogen `(N_(2)O_(5))`.
