The correct Answer is:
To determine the increasing order of acidic nature of the oxides \(Li_2O\), \(BeO\), \(B_2O_3\), and \(CuO\), we can analyze the properties of these oxides based on their positions in the periodic table and their chemical behavior. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Nature of the Oxides**: - \(Li_2O\) (Lithium oxide) is a basic oxide. - \(BeO\) (Beryllium oxide) is amphoteric, meaning it can act as both an acid and a base. - \(B_2O_3\) (Boron trioxide) is an acidic oxide. - \(CuO\) (Copper(II) oxide) is a basic oxide. 2. **Understand the Trends in Acidic Nature**: - As we move from left to right across a period in the periodic table, the metallic character decreases and the non-metallic character increases. This results in an increase in the acidic nature of the oxides. - Basic oxides (like \(Li_2O\) and \(CuO\)) are less acidic, while acidic oxides (like \(B_2O_3\)) are more acidic. 3. **Rank the Oxides Based on Acidic Nature**: - \(Li_2O\) is the most basic, hence it has the least acidic nature. - \(CuO\) is also basic but less basic than \(Li_2O\), making it more acidic than \(Li_2O\). - \(BeO\) is amphoteric and can act as an acid or a base, placing it in between \(CuO\) and \(B_2O_3\). - \(B_2O_3\) is the most acidic among the given oxides. 4. **Final Order**: - Based on the above analysis, the increasing order of acidic nature is: \[ Li_2O < CuO < BeO < B_2O_3 \] ### Conclusion: The increasing order of acidic nature of the oxides is: \[ Li_2O < CuO < BeO < B_2O_3 \]
