    Which one of the following orders presents the correct sequence of the increasing basic nature of the given oxides?   AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2011

    A) \[{{K}_{2}}O<N{{a}_{2}}O<A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}<MgO\]

    B) \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}<MgO<N{{a}_{2}}O<{{K}_{2}}O\]

    C) \[MgO<{{K}_{2}}O<A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}<N{{a}_{2}}O\]

    D) \[N{{a}_{2}}O<{{K}_{2}}O<MgO<A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                 While moving from left to right in periodic table basic character of oxide of elements will decrease.    \[\therefore \,\xrightarrow[\text{Increasing basic strength}]{A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}<MgO<N{{a}_{2}}O}\]and while descending in the group basic character of corresponding oxides increases.    \[\therefore \,\xrightarrow[\text{Increasing basic strength}]{N{{a}_{2}}O<{{K}_{2}}O}\] Increasing basic strength    \[\therefore \] Correct order is \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}<MgO<N{{a}_{2}}{{K}_{2}}O\]
