correct for metals?

1. They react with oxygen to form metal

oxides.

2. All metallic oxides are basic in nature.

3. Metals are reducing agents.

(a) 1 and 2

(b) 2 and 3

(c) 1 and 3

(d) 1, 2 and 3​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) option is correct

Explanation:

hope this answer helps u out...

Answer 2

Of the following statements (d) 1, 2 and 3 are correct for metals

• All metals react with oxygen to form metal oxides. Metal ions are positively charged cations which react with anionic oxygen to make metal oxides. Hence statement 1 is correct.
• Generally, all metal oxides are basic in nature . This can be tested through red litmus paper test too. Few exceptions like Aluminium show amphoteric nature but in general all metal oxides are basic . Hence, statement 2 is correct too.
• Generally all the metals are known for their low ionisation value which enables them to lose electrons easily. Hence, it makes metals great reducing agents. So, statement 3 is correct too.
