Correct option is D
The correct answer is :D) Aluminium oxide
Explanation:
- Amphoteric oxides are those that can react with both acids and bases. Aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃) is an amphoteric oxide because it can react with both acidic and basicsubstances to form salts and water.
- For example, it reacts with acids like HCl to form aluminium chloride and with bases like NaOH to form sodium aluminate.
Information Booster:
Amphoteric Oxides: Oxides of elements like Zinc (ZnO), and Lead (PbO) are amphoteric.
Basic Oxides: Oxides like Calcium oxide (CaO) and Sodium oxide (Na₂O) are basic.
- Acidic Oxides: Oxides like Sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and Carbon dioxide (CO₂) are acidic.
Additional Information:
Sodium peroxide: A compound formed by sodium and oxygen, often used as a bleaching agent and in oxygen generation.
Calcium oxide: A white solid, also known as quicklime, formed by heating calcium carbonate.
