The dioxides and monoxides of elements \(\mathrm{X}\) and \(\mathrm{Y}\) are amphoteric in nature. \(\mathrm{X}\) and \(\mathrm{Y}\) are respectively.
- A \(\mathrm{C}, \mathrm{Si}\)
- B \(\mathrm{Si}, \mathrm{Ge}\)
- C \(\mathrm{Sn}, \mathrm{Pb}\)
- D \(\mathrm{Ge}, \mathrm{Pb}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\mathrm{Sn}, \mathrm{Pb}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{SnO}_2, \mathrm{SnO}, \mathrm{PbO}\) and \(\mathrm{PbO}_2\) are all amphoteric oxides as they can exhibit +4 and as well as +2 oxidation state due to inert pair effect that enables them to act as acids as well as bases.
