Part B To understand relative reactivities of metal oxides, it is important to understand their relative acidity. Arrange these metal oxides in order of decreasing acidity Rank from highest to lowest acidity. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them. View Available Hintfs) Reset Help Most acidic Least acidic Ni2Os MnO Cu2O The correct ranking cannot be determined Solution metallic oxides are basic in nature nonmetallic oxides are acidic in nature Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe,Co, Ni , Cu, Zn are 4th period elements.In a period oxide acidic nature increases from left to right. V2O3 is most acidic ZnO is least acidic V2O3 >MnO>Ni2O3> Cu2O> ZnO .
