 The tendency of any compound to accept electrons is called acidity of the compound.
As we know that electronegativity is the property of the element to attract electron pairs.
Hence, the acidic character of the oxides “decreases down the group” because the
electronegativity decreases down the group. Similarly, when the metal is more
electropositive, it has more basic oxide in nature.
Metals form basic oxides and Non-metals form acidic oxides. As we move from left to right
across a period, the metallic character decreases and the non-metallic character increases.
Hence, oxides become more acidic as we move from left to right across a period.
Oxides in the higher oxidation state of an element are more acidic than that of the lower
oxidation state.

36) The number of carbon atoms per unit cell in diamond is y = 8.

The truncated octahedron is the 14-faced Archimedean solid, with 14 total faces : 6 squares
and 8 regular hexagons. Therefore x = 6.
The truncated octahedron is formed by removing the six right square pyramids one from each
point of a regular octahedron as.
