Identify the set of acidic oxides.

$Na_2O, CaO, BaO$

$ZnO,PbO,BeO$

$CO, NO,N_2O$

$Mn_2 O_7, CrO_3, V_2O_5$

Answer

$Mn_2 O_7, CrO_3, V_2O_5$

Explanation

Acidic oxides $\rightarrow Mn _{2} O _{7}, \,CrO _{3},\, V _{2} O _{5}$

(due to higher oxidation state of central metal) Basic oxide $\rightarrow Na _{2} O , CaO , BaO$

(due to lower oxidation state of central metal) Alkaline and alkali metal oxide are always basic. Neutral oxides $\rightarrow CO , NO , N _{2} O$

Amphoteric oxides $\rightarrow ZnO , PbO , BeO$ (acidic as well as basic)
