The correct set that contains all kinds of oxides (basic, acidic, amphoteric and neutral) is:

  • (1) Na2O, N2O, Al2O3 and CO
  • (2) Al2O3, As2O3, CO and NO
  • (3) K2O, Cl2O7, As2O3 and NO
  • (4) Na2O, K2O, Al2O3 and As2O3

Verified Answer

Oxides are classified into four major categories:

  • Basic Oxides: React with acids to form salt and water.
  • Acidic Oxides: React with bases to form salt and water.
  • Amphoteric Oxides: React with both acids and bases.
  • Neutral Oxides: Neither acidic nor basic.

In Option (3):

  • K2O → Basic oxide
  • Cl2O7 → Acidic oxide
  • As2O3 → Amphoteric oxide
  • NO → Neutral oxide

Thus, this option contains all four categories of oxides.

Final Answer

Option (3)
