Question:medium

Which of the following options contain amphoteric oxide(s) only?

Updated On: Jan 13, 2026
  • \(SnO_2 \;and \;SiO\)

  • \(SiO_2\)
  • \(SnO_2 \;and \;PbO_2\)
  • \(CO \;and\; SiO\)
Show Solution

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Amphoteric oxides exhibit dual reactivity, behaving as either acidic or basic oxides contingent on reaction conditions. These oxides can react with both acids and bases, yielding distinct products. Of the provided choices, \(SnO_2\) and \(PbO_2\) are recognized as amphoteric. Specifically, tin dioxide (\(SnO_2\)) and lead dioxide (\(PbO_2\)) both demonstrate amphoteric characteristics.

The correct option is (C): \(SnO_2 \;and \;PbO_2\)
