2. Cu, S

3. Ti, Zr

4. Zr, Hf

Which one of the following is an amphoteric oxide?

1. SO₂

2. B₂O₃

3. ZnO

4. Na₂O

Which one is a metalloid?

1. Tin

2. Germanium

3. Sulphur

4. Carbon

The correct order of acid strength is:

1. ${\mathrm{Cl}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_7>{\mathrm{SO}}_2>{\mathrm{P}}_4{\mathrm{O}}_{10}$

2. ${\mathrm{CO}}_2>{\mathrm{N}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_5>{\mathrm{SO}}_3$

3. ${\mathrm{Na}}_2\mathrm{O}>\mathrm{MgO}>{\mathrm{Al}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_3$

4. ${\mathrm{K}}_2\mathrm{O}>\mathrm{CaO}>\mathrm{MgO}$

Consider the following information about element P and Q :

                        Period number            Group number

P                               2                                 15

Q                               3                                 2

Then formula of the compound formed by P and Q element is :

(1) PQ         

(2) $P_3{Q}_2$           

(3)$Q_3{P}_2$            

(4)$P{Q}_2$

Which of the following compound is most acidic?

1. $C{l}_2{O}_7$                              2. $P_4{O}_{10}$

3. $S{O}_3$                                 4. $B_2{O}_3$

The correct order among the following options is: 

1. F > N > C > Si > Ga - Non-metallic character.

2. F > Cl > O >N - Oxidising property.

3. C < Si > P > N  - Electron affinity value.

4. All of the above.
