Vedclass · Answer

(D) The acidic strength of oxides depends on the non-metallic character and the oxidation state of the central atom. Acidic character increases as the non-metallic character increases across a period and decreases down a group. Comparing the oxides: $SO_3$ (Sulfur is in $+6$ oxidation state),$CO_2$ (Carbon is in $+4$ oxidation state),and $B_2O_3$ (Boron is in $+3$ oxidation state). Since the non-metallic character follows the order $S > C > B$,the acidic strength of their oxides follows the order $SO_3 > CO_2 > B_2O_3$. Therefore,option $D$ is correct.
