Question

An oxide $$X$$ in its normal form is almost non-reactive due to very high $$X - O$$  bond enthalpy. It resists the attack by halogens, hydrogen and most of acids and metals even at elevated temperatures. It is only attacked by $$HF$$  and $$NaOH.$$  The oxide $$X$$ is

A. $$Si{O_2}$$  
B. $$C{O_2}$$
C. $$Sn{O_2}$$
D. $$Pb{O_2}$$
Answer :   $$Si{O_2}$$
Solution :
$$Si{O_2}$$  is attacked by $$HF$$  and $$NaOH$$  but not by chemicals under normal conditions.
