Option b is incorrect
ANSWER:
The wrong statement is sulphur dioxide is basic oxide.
REASON:
Suphur dioxide is not a basic oxide. It is an acidic oxide.
EXPLANATION:
- Usually metals form basic oxides and non metals form acidic oxides.
- s and d block elements are mostly metallic in nature and hence their oxides are basic.
- The metals tend to donate electrons to oxygen and their basic character is visualised.
- The p block elements are mostly non metallic in nature.
- Since they are non metals, p block elements form acidic oxides.
OPTIONS:
- Magnesium is a metal of s block and forms basic oxide .
- Sulphur is a non metal of p block and forms acidic oxide.
- Aluminium though belongs to p block, it is a metal. It forms amphoteric oxide. So it is either acidic or basic.
- Carbon is a non metal of p block and forms acidic oxide.
