उत्तर
The elements whose oxides can turn litmus solution blue are potassium and magnesium.
Explanation:
Litmus solution turns blue in the presence of a base. Metals like potassium and magnesium react with oxygen to form metallic oxides (K2O and MgO), which are inherently basic and dissolve in water to yield alkaline solutions. Conversely, non-metals like carbon and sulphur produce acidic oxides (CO2 and SO2) that would instead turn litmus paper red.
