Solution:
A acidic oxide; (non-metal) (X)
B amphoteric oxide (Y)
C basic oxide (metal) (Z)
A, B and C are oxides of elements X, Y and Z respectively. X, Y and Z are in the same period of the periodic table. A gives an aqueous solution which turns blue litmus red. B reacts with both strong acids and strong alkalies. C gives an aqueous solution which is strongly alkaline.Which of the following stateme.nt is/are true?(P) All the three elements are metals(Q) The electronegativities decreases from X to Y to z.(R) The atomic radius increases in the order X < Y
