Which of the following pair of oxides is neutral?

  • A.\(Al_{2}O_{3}\) and \(Na_{2}O\)
  • B.\(Al_{2}O_{3}\) and \(As_{2}O_{3}\)
  • C.\(Cl_{2}O_{7}\) and \(Na_{2}O\)
  • D.\(Cl_{2}O_{7}\) and \(Al_{2}O_{3}\)
  • E.CO and \(N_{2}O\)

Answer: E

The neutral pair is CO and \(N_{2}O\).

Carbon monoxide and dinitrogen oxide react with neither acids nor bases, which makes them neutral oxides (NO is another).

Each other pair contains a non-neutral oxide: \(Na_{2}O\) is basic, \(Cl_{2}O_{7}\) is strongly acidic, \(Al_{2}O_{3}\) is amphoteric, and \(As_{2}O_{3}\) is amphoteric (mainly acidic).
