(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ${\text{SeO}}_{\text{2}}$ is basic, acidic, or amphoteric in water has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Acidity of oxides:

Oxide of metals are basic and oxide of non-metals are acidic but the bond bet ween covalent metal-oxide become covalent means they are act as an amphoteric

(b)

Concept Introduction:

Acidity of oxides:

Oxide of metals are basic and oxide of non-metals are acidic but the bond bet ween covalent metal-oxide become covalent means they are act as an amphoteric
