Identify the correct order of basicity for the following oxides: $Na_2O, MgO, CuO, SiO_2$.

The electronic configuration of three elements $A, B$ and $C$ are given below. The molecular formula of the compound formed from $B$ and $C$ will be
$A : 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6$
$B : 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^3$
$C : 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^5$

Classify oxides and provide examples for each type.

The first $\left( \Delta_{i}H_{1} \right)$ and the second $\left( \Delta_{i}H_{2} \right)$ ionization enthalpies (in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$) and the $\left( \Delta_{eg}H \right)$ electron gain enthalpy (in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$) of a few elements are given below:
