    This compound gives off \[{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]on moderate heating

    A) \[HgO\]               

    B)         \[ZnO\]              

    C)         \[CaO\]              

    D)         \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Oxides of less electropositive metals (like \[HgO\]) on moderate heating gives off \[{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\text{.}\] \[2HgO\xrightarrow{\text{High}\,\text{temperature}}2Hg\,+{{O}_{2}}\]
