As we learnt in

Acidic oxides of oxygen -

Non metals oxides are generally acidic 

- wherein

CO2,SO2,SO3,NO2,N2O5

 

 Acidity of the oxides of non metals increases with the electronegativity and also the oxidation number of the element


Option 1)

SO_2< P_2O_3<SiO_2<Al_2O_3

This is incorrect option

Option 2)

SiO_2<SO_2<Al_2O_3 < P_2O_3

This is incorrect option

Option 3)

Al_2O_3 < SiO_2<SO_2< P_2O_3

This is incorrect option

Option 4)

Al_2O_3 < SiO_2< P_2O_3<SO_2

This is correct option
