    Which is an amphoteric oxide?

    A)  \[MgO\]

    B)  \[{{K}_{2}}O\]

    C) \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\]

    D) \[CuO\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Key Idea: Basicity of oxides decreases while moving in a period. Amphoteric oxides react both with acid and base. (i) \[MgO,{{K}_{2}}O\]and\[CaO\]are basic oxides (ii)\[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\] is amphoteric oxide \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}+6HCl\xrightarrow{{}}A{{l}_{2}}C{{l}_{6}}+3{{H}_{2}}O\] \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}+2NaOH\xrightarrow{{}}2NaAl{{O}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O\]
