Which of the following statements does not match correctly?

Correct answer: C. N205...Basic oxide

  • A. BaO...Basic oxide
  • B. Ga2O3.....Amphoteric oxide
  • C. N205...Basic oxide
  • D. BeH2...Intermediate hydride

Explanation

N2O5 is an acidic oxide, not a basic oxide. An acidic oxide reacts with water to form an acid. N2O5 is an acidic oxide because it reacts with water to produce nitric acid (HNO3). BaO, Ga2O3, and BeH2 are correctly matched with their oxide types, making Option C the correct answer.
