Given below are two statements : Statement I: An element in the extreme left of the periodic table forms acidic oxides. Statement II: Acid is formed during the reaction between water and oxide of a reactive element present in the extreme right of the periodic table. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
A
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
B
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
C
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
D
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
Explanation
Elements on extreme left form basic oxides whereas elements on extreme right form acidic oxides. Na2O + H2O → 2NaOH Cl2O7 + H2O → 2HClO4
