17
Q

Nature and Structure of Sodium Oxide

A

Basic, Ionic

18
Q

Nature and Structure of Magnesium Oxide

A

Sparingly soluble -> Basic, Ionic (Higher melting point than Na2O as Mg2+ ions are smaller and higher charged than Na+)

19
Q

Nature and Structure of Aluminium Oxide

A

Insoluble due to very high lattice enthalpy, Ionic (not as high a melting point as expected due to some covalent character due to polarising nature of Al3+ ions)

20
Q

Nature and Structure of Silicon Oxide

A

Insoluble due to lattice of atoms linked by string covalent bonds, Giant covalent

21
Q

Nature and Structure of Phosphorus Oxide

A

Acidic, Reacts violently, Simple molecular

22
Q

Nature and Structure of Sulfur Dioxide

A

Acidic, Dissolves, Simple molecular, Gas

23
Q

Nature and Structure of Sulfur Trioxide

A

Acidic, Reacts violently, Simple molecular, Gas

24
Q

Acid-Base property of Na2O

A

Basic

Na2O + 2H+ -> 2Na+ + H2O

25
Q

Acid-Base property of MgO

A

Basic

MgO + 2H+ -> Mg2+ + H2O

26
Q

Acid-Base property of Al2O3

A

Amphoteric
Al2O3 + 6H+ -> 2Al3+ + 3H2O
Al2O3 + 2OH- + 3H2O -> 2Al(OH)4-

27
Q
