WBJEE · Chemistry · p Block Elements (Group 15, 16, 17 & 18)
Of the following compounds the most acidic is
- A \(\mathrm{As}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\)
- B \(\mathrm{P}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\)
- C \(\mathrm{Sb}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\)
- D \(\mathrm{Bi}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\mathrm{P}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In a group as we go downwards, the oxide basic character increases hence maximum acidic oxide is \(\mathrm{P}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\)
