Main group elements react with oxygen to form acidic, amphoteric, and basic oxides in aqueous solution. Give ONE example of acidic, amphoteric, and basic oxides, respectively. Explain why the mentioned acidic and alkaline oxides exhibit these acidity and alkalinity properties in the aqueous solution. Group 17 elements exist as diatomic molecules and they are oxidising agents. Arrange the strength of oxidising abilities of halogens in decreasing trend. Explain your answer.
