Aqueous solutions of two compounds

M-{O}-{H}

and

M^{\prime}-{O}-{H}

have been prepared in two different beakers. If the electronegativity of

M=3.5, M^{\prime}=1.72

{O}=3.0

and

{H}=2.1

, then the solutions respectively are

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

acidic, basic

Option B (acidic, basic) is correct because the acidity or basicity of the solutions depends on the electronegativity difference between M/M' and oxygen.
