Question

The following non-metal form acidic oxides with oxygen except?

Options

A)
phosphorus
B)
sulphur
C)
carbon
D)
chlorine

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

The oxides which neither react with acids nor react with bases are known as neutral oxides. 

Carbon monoxide neither reacts with acids nor reacts with bases.

Thus, carbon monoxide is a neutral oxide, produced when combustion reactions are not fully completed, either through lack of oxygen or due to low mixing
