5 Notes/ Hide

  1. mylifeisublime answered: Al2O3 because it forms a metallic bonding
  2. freekychemist answered: (a) P2O5
  3. periodicallyidrinkcocacola answered: if they’re in water solutions, I think the answer is SiO2. ?? Because sio2’s hybridization is sp. s character determines acidic strength.
  4. ptolemy2 answered: Well, since P2O5 is the anhydride of phosphoric acid, I choose a) MgO makes a base c)makes a basic salt, and d) acts as a base or salt. yes?
