Problem

Aqueous solutions of two compounds

M_1 - O - H

and

M_2 - O - H

are prepared in two different beakers. If, the electronegativity of

M_1 = 3.4

M_2 = 1.2

O = 3.5

and

H = 2.1

, then the nature of two solutions will be respectively : (1) acidic, basic (2) acidic, acidic (3) basic, acidic (4) basic, basic
