MCQ
As compared to lithium, sodium reacts quickly with water because
  • A
    Its atomic weight is less
  • B
    It is more electronegative
  • C
    It has lower $I.P$
  • It is a metal

Answer

Correct option: D.
It is a metal
d
Acidic nature $ \propto \left(  +  \right)ve$ oxidation state

So $N_2O_5 > SO_2 > CO_2 > CO$
