Tellurium forms oxides of the formula `TeO, TeO_(2), and TeO_(3)` What is the nature of these oxides?  `TeO` (oxidation number of `Te is +2`) is basic.
`TeO_(2)` (oxidation number of Te is +4) is amphoteric.
`TeO_(3)` (oxidation number of Te is +6) is acidic. As the oxidation number of the element forming oxide increases, the acidic nature also increases.
