  1. A \(\mathrm{CO}, \mathrm{CO}_2\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{SnO}, \mathrm{PbO}_2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{GeO}, \mathrm{SiO}_2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{SnO}, \mathrm{PbO}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{GeO}, \mathrm{SiO}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Acidic oxides \(=\mathrm{CO}_2, \mathrm{SiO}_2, \mathrm{GeO} Amphoteric oxides \)=\mathrm{SnO}, \mathrm{PbO}, \mathrm{PbO}_2\( Neutral oxides \)=\mathrm{CO}$
