The nature of oxide \(\left(\mathrm{TeO}_2\right)\) and hydride \(\left(\mathrm{TeH}_2\right)\) formed by Te , respectively are _______.
- A Oxidising and acidic
- B Reducing and basic
- C Reducing and acidic
- D Oxidising and basic
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Oxidising and acidic
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{TeO}_2\) is oxidizing in nature because it can be reduced from +4 oxidation state to lower oxidation state. \(\mathrm{TeH}_2\) due to less bond dissociation energy easily breaks and hence acidic in nature.
