Solution

The basicity of oxides of vanadium increases with the increase in oxidation state. The oxides of vanadium are VO, V2O3, VO2, and V2O5.

  1. VO (Vanadium(II) oxide) has +2 oxidation state.
  2. V2O3 (Vanadium(III) oxide) has +3 oxidation state.
  3. VO2 (Vanadium(IV) oxide) has +4 oxidation state.
  4. V2O5 (Vanadium(V) oxide) has +5 oxidation state.

So, the correct order of basicity of oxides of vanadium is VO < V2O3 < VO2 < V2O5.
