Question
One of the following is not a neutral oxide. This is:
Options
CO
H2O
N2O
Na2O
Advertisements
Solution
Na2O
Explanation:
Sodium oxide (Na2O) is a strongly basic oxide, not a neutral one, because it reacts vigorously with water to form the base sodium hydroxide (NaOH). In contrast, carbon monoxide (CO), Water (H2O), and nitrous oxide (N2O) are classic neutral oxides that show neither acidic nor basic properties when mixed with water.
