    A)  they form oxide with air

    B)  they react with steam readily

    C)  they react with dil.\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]

    D)  they react with hot\[NaOH\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Both Zn and Hg react with air (oxygen). On heating, they form\[ZnO\]and\[HgO\] respectively. \[2Zn+{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}2ZnO\] \[2Hg+{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}2HgO\]
