Correct answer: Carbon(II) oxide (CO)

Explanation: A neutral oxide neither reacts with acids nor bases. Typical examples are CO, NO and N2O. Therefore, CO is neutral.

  • Carbon(IV) oxide (CO2) — Acidic oxide; forms carbonic acid in water.
  • Sulphur(VI) oxide (SO3) — Acidic oxide; forms H2SO4.
  • Sulphur(IV) oxide (SO2) — Acidic oxide; forms H2SO3.
  • Carbon(II) oxide (CO) — Neutral.
