What to Focus On

  • Acidic oxides: non-metal oxides like SO₂, CO₂
  • Basic oxides: metal oxides like Na₂O, FeO
  • Amphoteric oxides: ZnO, Al₂O₃

  • Ozone is O₃, V-shaped, resonance hybrid
  • Strong oxidizing agent
  • Tailing of mercury due to Hg₂O formation

  • Contact process: SO₂ → SO₃ using V₂O₅ catalyst
  • SO₃ absorbed in conc. H₂SO₄ to form oleum
  • Conc. H₂SO₄ is oxidizing and dehydrating agent

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All oxides of non-metals are acidic, so SiO₂ must react with water to form an acid.

Ozone is just a form of oxygen, so it should not have a bent shape or resonance.

In the Contact Process, SO₃ is directly dissolved in water to make H₂SO₄.

Memory Tips

Classification of oxides: Acidic, Basic, Amphoteric, Neutral

Acidic oxides react with bases to form salt and water

Basic oxides react with acids to form salt and water

Amphoteric oxides react with both acids and bases
