the oxide formed by the chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen is acidic in nature
write the correct statements
Answers
Answer:
Oxides are chemical compounds with one or more oxygen atoms combined with another element (e.g. Li2O). Oxides are binary compounds of oxygen with another element, e.g., CO2, SO2, CaO, CO, ZnO, BaO2, H2O, etc. These are termed as oxides because here, oxygen is in combination with only one element. Based on their acid-base characteristics oxides are classified as acidic, basic, amphoteric or neutral:
An oxide that combines with water to give an acid is termed as an acidic oxide.
The oxide that gives a base in water is known as a basic oxide.
An amphoteric solution is a substance that can chemically react as either acid or base.
However, it is also possible for an oxide to be neither acidic nor basic, but is a neutral oxide.
There are different properties which help distinguish between the three types of oxides. The term anhydride ("without water") refers to compounds that assimilate H2O to form either an acid or a base upon the addition of water.
Answer:
Reactions with Hydrogen
The product of this reaction is called a peroxide because oxygen is in the O2−2 form (hydrogen has a +1 oxidation state)
