(N/A) $p$-Block elements form various types of oxides based on their oxidation state and position in the periodic table.
$1.$ Acidic Oxides: These oxides react with water to form acids. Non-metals generally form acidic oxides.
Examples: $SO_2, N_2O_5$.
Reactions:
$SO_2 + H_2O \rightarrow H_2SO_3$ (Sulfurous acid)
$N_2O_5 + H_2O \rightarrow 2HNO_3$ (Nitric acid)
$2.$ Basic Oxides: These oxides react with water to form bases. Metallic elements at the bottom of the $p$-block form basic oxides.
Examples: $Tl_2O, Bi_2O_3$.
Reaction:
$Tl_2O + H_2O \rightarrow 2TlOH$ (Thallium hydroxide)
$3.$ Amphoteric Oxides: These oxides show both acidic and basic character. They react with both acids and bases.
Examples: $Al_2O_3, SnO_2$.
Note: Amphoteric oxides like $Al_2O_3$ are generally insoluble in water and do not react with it directly.
