Among the following oxides, which one is weakly basic and yet a powerful oxidant?
- A \(\mathrm{CO}_2\)
- B \(\mathrm{SnO}_2\)
- C \(\mathrm{SiO}_2\)
- D \(\mathrm{PbO}_2\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\mathrm{PbO}_2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
For the dioxides of group- 14 elements \(\left(\mathrm{CO}_2, \mathrm{SiO}_2, \mathrm{GeO}_2\right.\) and \(\left.\mathrm{PbO}_2\right), \mathrm{PbO}_2\) is most basic in nature. Again, in oxidation state \(\mathrm{Pb}\) in +4 , which is less \(\mathrm{PbO}_2\) stable than its…
