How many of the following oxides are amphoteric in nature ? N2O3,P2O3,AS2O3,Sb2O3,Bi2O3
answer : only one and that is As2O3
explanation : amphoteric means, it has acidic as well as basic nature.
furthar more details for it,
generally oxides of metals are basic in nature
oxides of metalloids are amphoteric in nature
and oxides of non metals are acidic in nature.
here N and P are non metals so oxides of these are acidic
As is metalloid so its oxide is amphoteric
Sb and Bi are metals so oxides of these are basic.
Therefore only As2O3 is amphoteric in nature.
