A

`{:(X,Y,Z),(VA,IA,IIIA):}`

B

`{:(X,Y,Z),(IA,VA,IIIA):}`

C

`{:(X,Y,Z),(IIIA,IA,VA):}`

D

`{:(X,Y,Z),(IIIA,VA,IA):}`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to identify the groups of elements X, Y, and Z based on the properties of their oxides: amphoteric, highly acidic, and highly basic. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the properties of the oxides:** - The oxide of X is **amphoteric**. - The oxide of Y is **highly acidic**. - The oxide of Z is **highly basic**. 2. **Understand what amphoteric means:** - An amphoteric oxide can react with both acids and bases. Common examples include oxides of metals that are not too far left in the periodic table, such as aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃). 3. **Determine the nature of oxides based on groups:** - **Group IA (Alkali Metals):** Their oxides are typically highly basic (e.g., Na₂O). - **Group IIIA:** Oxides can be amphoteric (e.g., Al₂O₃). - **Group VA (Nitrogen Group):** Their oxides are generally acidic (e.g., N₂O₅). 4. **Assign groups based on oxide properties:** - Since the oxide of X is amphoteric, it likely belongs to **Group IIIA**. - Since the oxide of Y is highly acidic, it belongs to **Group VA**. - Since the oxide of Z is highly basic, it belongs to **Group IA**. 5. **Summarize the findings:** - Element X belongs to **Group IIIA**. - Element Y belongs to **Group VA**. - Element Z belongs to **Group IA**. ### Final Answer: - X: Group IIIA - Y: Group VA - Z: Group IA
