The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given oxides are acidic, basic, and amphoteric, we will analyze each oxide based on the properties of metals and non-metals. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Oxides**: We need to identify the oxides provided in the question. Let's assume the oxides given are: - N2O3 - Li2O - Al2O3 - SO3 - Na2O - MgO - P4O10 2. **Classify the Oxides**: - **Acidic Oxides**: Generally, oxides of non-metals are acidic. - N2O3 (Nitrogen is a non-metal) → Acidic - SO3 (Sulfur is a non-metal) → Acidic - P4O10 (Phosphorus is a non-metal) → Acidic - **Basic Oxides**: Generally, oxides of metals are basic. - Li2O (Lithium is a metal) → Basic - Na2O (Sodium is a metal) → Basic - MgO (Magnesium is a metal) → Basic - **Amphoteric Oxides**: These oxides can act as both acids and bases. Common examples include oxides of certain metals. - Al2O3 (Aluminum oxide) → Amphoteric 3. **Summarize the Classifications**: - **Acidic Oxides**: N2O3, SO3, P4O10 - **Basic Oxides**: Li2O, Na2O, MgO - **Amphoteric Oxides**: Al2O3 4. **Arrange the Oxides**: According to the question, we need to arrange them in the order of acidic, basic, and amphoteric: - **Acidic**: N2O3, SO3, P4O10 - **Basic**: Li2O, Na2O, MgO - **Amphoteric**: Al2O3 5. **Final Arrangement**: The final arrangement of oxides in the order of acidic, basic, and amphoteric is: - **Acidic**: N2O3, SO3, P4O10 - **Basic**: Li2O, Na2O, MgO - **Amphoteric**: Al2O3 ### Conclusion: The correct classification of the oxides is: - Acidic: N2O3, SO3, P4O10 - Basic: Li2O, Na2O, MgO - Amphoteric: Al2O3

To determine which of the given oxides are acidic, basic, and amphoteric, we will analyze each oxide based on the properties of metals and non-metals. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Oxides**: We need to identify the oxides provided in the question.
