Which of the following oxides is amphoteric?
Correct Answer:
B. Al₂O₃
EXPLANATION
Al₂O₃ is amphoteric, reacting with both strong acids (forming AlCl₃) and strong bases (forming aluminate ions). Na₂O is basic, SiO₂ is acidic, and P₂O₅ is acidic.
Which of the following elements forms the most stable hydride?
Correct Answer:
B. F
EXPLANATION
Fluorine forms HF which is the most stable hydride among halogens due to the strong H-F bond (high bond energy ~570 kJ/mol), resulting from fluorine's high electronegativity.
Which of the following is the correct order of atomic radius?
Correct Answer:
B. Cs > Rb > K > Na
EXPLANATION
Atomic radius increases down a group in the periodic table. As we go from Na to K to Rb to Cs, the number of shells increases, leading to increased atomic radius.
