MCQ
Among $A{l_2}{O_3},Si{O_2},{P_2}{O_3}$ and $S{O_2}$ the correct order of acid strength is
  • A
    $A{l_2}{O_3} < Si{O_2} < S{O_2} < {P_2}{O_3}$
  • B
    $Si{O_2} < S{O_2} < A{l_2}{O_3} < {P_2}{O_3}$
  • C
    $S{O_2} < {P_2}{O_3} < Si{O_2} < A{l_2}{O_3}$
  • $A{l_2}{O_3} < Si{O_2} < {P_2}{O_3} < S{O_2}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$A{l_2}{O_3} < Si{O_2} < {P_2}{O_3} < S{O_2}$
d
(d) With decrease in size from $Al$ to $S$ the basic nature of oxide decrease and acidic nature increases.

$A{l_2}{O_3} < Si{O_2} < {P_2}{O_3} < S{O_2}$

$A{l_2}{O_3}$ is amphoteric, $Si{O_2}$ is slightly acidic whereas ${P_2}{O_3}$ and $S{O_2}$ are the anhydrides of acids ${H_3}P{O_3}$ and ${H_2}S{O_3}$.
