Nitrous oxide is a neutral oxide. Explain.

Name one: neutral oxide.

NO is an acidic oxide, while NO_(2) is a neutral oxide.

Differentiate among acidic oxides, basic oxides, amphoteric oxides and neutral oxides.

Air pollutant photochemical oxidants include (a) nitrous oxide, nitric acid and nitric oxide (b) oxygen, chlorine and nitric acid (c) ozone, peroxyacetyl nitrate and aldehydes (d) carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide

Give an example of oxidation of halide by another halogen. Explain the feasibility of the reaction.

Give two examples each of the following oxides - a. Acidic oxides b. Basic oxides c. Amphoteric oxides d. Neutral oxides. State which of the following oxides i.e. a. to d. - (i) React with water to give a base (ii) React with a base to give salt & water (iii) React with acids & bases to give salt & water.

Sum of total number of amphoteric and neutral oxides among the folllowing is : CO, NO, Al_(2)O_(3), PbO_(2), CaO, SnO_(2), ZnO

Following are neutral oxides except :

An element of group 14 forms two oxides one of which is highlty poisionous and neutral. Other oxide can be easily liquefied and compressed to give a solid which is used as a refrigerant under the name of drikold. The element and the oxides are

Nitrous oxide : I. occurs naturally in the environment II. is produced when fossil fuels are burnt III. quantity has increased due to the use of chemical fertilizers
