N2O is a neutral oxide.
Explanation:
CO2 - a solution of CO2 is slightly acidic.
SO2 - Sulfur dioxide is an acidic gas.
P2O5 - Phosphorus pentoxide has a very high oxidation state.
So the above three are acidic in nature.
N2O is a neutral oxide. It neither reacts with acid or base.
Neutral oxides are those oxides which show neither basic nor acidic properties when they react with water. Another example of a neutral oxide is carbon monoxide (CO).
