40.

Select the most acidic compound from the following.

Explanation / Answer

40. SO2. (Non-metallic oxides are highly acidic)
41. Cs2O (Metallic oxides are highly basic, Cs being the strongest metal, Cs2O is highly basic)
42. Sr2+
43. Se2-
44. Cd
45. V
46. Fe3+
47. Sc3+
48. (A) (Because as the ratio of proton to electron increases, due to more nuclear attraction, nucleii are bound very closely, thus the ionic radii decreases.)
49. (A) (Same explanation as above)
