The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Generally, acidic nature of oxides increases along a period from left to right and decreases along a group from up to down.
Since $As, P, Sb$ and $Bi$ all belong to $V$ group and arranged in the following manner :
$P : As, Sb , Bi$
$\therefore P _{2} O _{5}$ is the most and $Bi _{2} O _{3}$ is the least acidic.

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes - Classification

Classification of Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are as follows:

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are Classified on the Basis of the Number of Halogen Atoms:

These are further classified as mono, di, or polyhalogen (tri-,tetra-, etc.) compounds depending on whether they contain one, two or more halogen atoms in their structures. For example;

  • Monohaloalkane
  • Dihaloalkane
  • Trihaloalkane

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are Classified on Compounds Containing sp3 C—X Bond (X= F, Cl, Br, I)

This class includes:

  • Alkyl halides or haloalkanes (R—X)
  • Allylic halides
  • Benzylic halides

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are Classified on Compounds Containing sp2 C—X Bond

This class includes:

  • Vinylic halides
  • Aryl halides
