Select the correct statement regarding oxides:

A

C
Down the group the acidic nature of oxide increases
D
Nitrogen forms all the three types of oxides (neutral, basic, and acidic)
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Correct option is A. As the electronegativity of element increases, acidic character of oxide increases
As we move from left to right in a period, electronegativity increases and acidic nature also increases (non-metals form acidic oxides) and down the group, acidic nature of oxide decreases because of an increase in metallic character.
