Question

The positions of four elements A, B, C and D in the modern periodic table are shown
below. Which element is most likely to form an acidic oxide?
i A
ii) B
iii)C
iv) D​

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Elements B and C belong to the same period in a periodic table where C lies right of B. We know that moving left to right along the period increases non-metallic character and hence, the acidic character of the oxide. So, among B and C, C will form most likely to form an acidic oxide.
