The acidic oxide from the following is
- A \(\mathrm{SnO}_2\)
- B \(\mathrm{SiO}_2\)
- C \(\mathrm{PbO}_2\)
- D \(\mathrm{SnO}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\mathrm{SiO}_2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
On moving down the group, the tendancy to lose electron increases due to which basic character of oxides increases and acidic character decreases. Hence, \(\mathrm{SiO}_2\) form acidic oxide.
