Stanza 1

The oxides of the elements at

the top of Group 4 are acidic
are acidic, but acidity of the oxides fall as you go
down go down the group.
CHORUS:
Tonight we will learn the acid
base behavior of the group 4
oxides we will learn the acid
base behavior of the group
4 oxides 4 oxides
the acid base behavior of the group
4 oxides 4 oxides
the acid base behavior of the group.
Stanza 2
The dioxides, CO2 and silicon dioxide
react with a base to form salts and water.
Germanium dioxide, tin dioxide and lead dioxide can react with an acid or a base
to form a salt and water, an acid or a base.
CHORUS:
Tonight we will learn the acid
base behavior of the group 4
oxides we will learn the acid
base behavior of the group
4 oxides 4 oxides
the acid base behavior of the group
4 oxides 4 oxides
the acid base behavior of the group.
Bridge:
The monoxides, carbon monoxide and silicon monoxide are neutral so they do not react with an acid or
a base germanium monoxide, tin monoxide and lead monoxide are amphoteric so they can react with an
acid or a base.
CHORUS:
Tonight we will learn the acid
base behavior of the group 4
oxides we will learn the acid
base behavior of the group
4 oxides 4 oxides
the acid base behavior of the group
4 oxides 4 oxides
the acid base behavior of the group.
