Which metal has a greater tendency to form metal oxide?
- A \(\mathrm{Cr}\)
- B \(\mathrm{Fe}\)
- C \(\mathrm{Al}\)
- D \(\mathrm{Ca}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\mathrm{Ca}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Greater the stability of oxide, greater is the chance of its formation. Generally, ionic oxide are more stable, than covalent oxides and among the given metals only Ca form ionic oxide. Hence, Ca has grealer tendency to form oxide.
