Question

which group of element will form an acidic oxide??
out of two elements potassium and sodium, which one can lose electron easily? Give reason for your answer ​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Elements of group 15, 16, 17 from acidic oxides as these are non metals.
• Potassium because the tendency to loss electron increases as we move down in a group.

Hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer:

Elements of Group 15, 16 and 17 will form acidic oxides because they are non-metal

Potassium can lose one election easily.

As the atomic number of potassium is 19, it contains 1 electron in its outer shell. By having 8 electrons in their last shell an atom will be regarded as stable. For this reason sometimes they make pair and use to give and take electrons. For this reason potassium will lose 1 electron easily from its outer most orbit to get stability.
