Vedclass · Answer

(C) The acidic character of oxides generally increases with the increase in the oxidation state of the central atom and the electronegativity of the central atom. $1$. $N_2O_5$ ($+5$ oxidation state) is a strong acidic oxide. $2$. $SO_2$ ($+4$ oxidation state) is also acidic. $3$. $CO_2$ ($+4$ oxidation state) is acidic but less than $SO_2$ due to lower electronegativity of $C$ compared to $S$. $4$. $CO$ is a neutral oxide. Thus,the correct order is $N_2O_5 > SO_2 > CO_2 > CO$.
