The correct Answer is:
To determine which options contain only amphoteric oxides, we first need to understand what amphoteric oxides are. Amphoteric oxides can react with both acids and bases. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Amphoteric Oxides**: Amphoteric oxides are those that can react with both acids and bases. This means they can either donate or accept protons (H⁺ ions). 2. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option A**: Cr₂O₃, CrO, SnO, PbO - Cr₂O₃ (Chromium(III) oxide) is amphoteric. - CrO (Chromium(II) oxide) is primarily basic. - SnO (Tin(II) oxide) is amphoteric. - PbO (Lead(II) oxide) is amphoteric. - Therefore, Option A contains both amphoteric and basic oxides, so it is not correct. - **Option B**: B₂O₃ - B₂O₃ (Boron trioxide) is an acidic oxide. - Thus, Option B is not correct. - **Option C**: Cr₂O₃, BeO, SnO, SnO₂ - Cr₂O₃ is amphoteric. - BeO (Beryllium oxide) is amphoteric. - SnO is amphoteric. - SnO₂ (Tin(IV) oxide) is also amphoteric. - Therefore, Option C contains only amphoteric oxides, so it is correct. - **Option D**: ZnO, Al₂O₃, BeO, PbO - ZnO (Zinc oxide) is amphoteric. - Al₂O₃ (Aluminum oxide) is amphoteric. - BeO is amphoteric. - PbO is amphoteric. - Therefore, Option D also contains only amphoteric oxides, so it is correct. 3. **Conclusion**: The options with only amphoteric oxides are **Option C** and **Option D**. ### Final Answer: The options with only amphoteric oxides are **C and D**.
