Hi people
you know how acidity of oxides decrease across the group from left to right
basic to acidic
wat i dont understand is
since group 2 elements can have oxidation state of +2
eg Ba(OH)2 wouldnt barium oxide be more basic that KOH?(cos it has 2 OH)
but basicity decrease going across the groups so its confusing
can so can someone clear that up?
