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