Question

Which of the following is most acidic?

A. $${N_2}{O_5}$$  
B. $${P_2}{O_5}$$
C. $$A{s_2}{O_5}$$
D. $$S{b_2}{O_5}$$
Answer :   $${N_2}{O_5}$$
Solution :
Acidic nature of oxides decreases down a group.
So, $${N_2}{O_5}$$  is most acidic.
Another reason of acidic strength of $${N_2}{O_5}$$  is that the electronegativity of $$N$$  is maximum in the given $${V^{th}}$$ group elements. As we know that on increasing the electronegative character, acidic nature increases.
