Q29 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2024 (18 May Shift 1) · Chemistry
Identify the basic oxide from the following :
- A$\mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_3$
- B$\mathrm{CrO}_3$
- C$\mathrm{V}_2 \mathrm{O}_5$
- Correct answerD$\mathrm{V}_2 \mathrm{O}_3$
Solution
The oxides of transition metal that contain metals in lower oxidation state are considered to be basic and basic character of metal oxide decreases along the period.
$\mathrm{V}_2 \mathrm{O}_3$ present in its lowest oxidation state The vanadium tends to donate the pair of electrons Hence it is basic oxide.
$\mathrm{V}_2 \mathrm{O}_3$ present in its lowest oxidation state The vanadium tends to donate the pair of electrons Hence it is basic oxide.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
