The ability of the hydride to donate a hydrogen ion can be directly correlated with the decreasing bond strength of the element-hydrogen bond. That is, as the bond strength decreases down the family, the acidity increases. For the same reason, the general chemical reactivity of nonmetal hydrides also increases with increasing atomic number of the nonmetal.
Down the group the size of the element increases, electronegativity decreases ,metallic character increases and hence the acidic character decrease.
The oxide ion itself is basic, but oxides of various elements may be acidic, basic, or amphoteric.
No. A number of metal oxides are basic.
No, metal oxides are basic in nature.
Yes it is. All the oxides of non-metals are acidic and oxides of metals are basic
sulphur dioxide is an acidic gas. Remember;- Groups 1 & 2 oxides are basic. None metal oxides are acidic.
acidic because when alkali oxides are reacted with water they give a acid
The oxide ion itself is basic, but oxides of various elements may be acidic, basic, or amphoteric.
The classification of oxides is related to their metallic and non-metallic character based on the type of elements they are composed of. Metallic oxides are formed by the combination of a metal with oxygen and are generally basic in nature. Non-metallic oxides, on the other hand, are formed by the combination of a non-metal with oxygen and are generally acidic or neutral. This classification is determined by the ionic or covalent nature of the bonding in the oxide compound.
No. A number of metal oxides are basic.
No, metal oxides are basic in nature.
Sodium oxide, magnesium oxide, and copper oxide are basic oxides, while carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and silicon dioxide are acidic oxides.
Yes it is. All the oxides of non-metals are acidic and oxides of metals are basic
acidic oxides
sulphur dioxide is an acidic gas. Remember;- Groups 1 & 2 oxides are basic. None metal oxides are acidic.
They are also known as acidic oxides since they form acidic solutions in water.
Oxides are classified into 3 types: > Basic oxide > Acidic oxide > Amphoteric oxide (both Basic and Acidic)
acidic oxides
