Question

State the nature of the oxide for an element 'M' with atomic number 15
please explain also​

Answer 1

Since the atomic no is 15

Electronic configuration would be 2,8,5

Therefore valency would be - 3

Therefore the gvn element is non metal

And non metal oxides are ACIDIC in nature

Answer 2

It's valency is 3 so the element is a non metal. And hence is oxide will be acidic in nature.
