Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Among the given pair,
Concept introduction:
On moving down the group, Metallic character of any metals increases so definitely Ionic character of any metal oxide increases.
(b)
Interpretation:
Among the given pair,
Concept introduction:
On moving down the group, Metallic character of any metals increases so definitely Ionic character of any metal oxide increases.
When we move from left to right non-metallic character increases.
(c)
Interpretation:
Among the given pair,
