The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of which oxides are neutral and which is not, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Neutral Oxides**: - Neutral oxides are oxides that do not exhibit acidic or basic properties. They do not react with acids or bases and do not form salts when they do react. 2. **Identify the Given Oxides**: - The oxides mentioned in the question are NO (nitric oxide), N2O (dinitrogen oxide), CO (carbon monoxide), and NO2 (nitrogen dioxide). 3. **Analyze Each Oxide**: - **NO (Nitric Oxide)**: This is a neutral oxide. It does not react with acids or bases. - **N2O (Dinitrogen Oxide)**: This is also a neutral oxide. It does not exhibit acidic or basic properties. - **CO (Carbon Monoxide)**: This is another neutral oxide. It does not react with acids or bases. - **NO2 (Nitrogen Dioxide)**: This oxide is not neutral. It reacts with water to form nitric acid (HNO3), indicating that it has acidic properties. 4. **Conclusion**: - Among the given options, NO2 is the only oxide that is not a neutral oxide. Therefore, the answer to the question is NO2. ### Final Answer: The oxide that is not a neutral oxide is **NO2 (Nitrogen Dioxide)**. ---
