Which of the following statements is true regarding the oxides of the elements in Period 3 (sodium to chlorine) of the Periodic Table?
Sodium oxide is the strongest base because sodium is the most electropositive element in Period 3
Going across Period 3 the properties of the oxides changes from base to acid because the bond between the element and oxygen gets stronger.
Aluminium oxide is amphoteric because it is in Group 13.
Oxide of phosphorus forms the strongest acid because it is the most soluble in water.
An oxide of G has a boiling point 2230°C. It dissolves in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution but not in water and acid. Oxide G is
PbO2
P2O5
SiO2
Al2O3
