a)Al2O3 b) MgO c) SiO2 d)
Na2O e) CO2

A K Daya Sir · Accepted Answer

Na2O is more basic oxide The trend of basicity is
from strongly basic oxides on the left-hand side to strongly acidic
ones on the right, via an amphoteric oxide (aluminium oxide) in the
middle MgO isn't as strongly basic as Na2O because the
oxide ions in MgO aren't so free to combine with H+ ions
Moreover Na2O forms a stronger base NaOH than
Mg(OH)2 which is a weaker one
