The element that does not form acidic oxide is

barium
The acidic oxides are formed by the non-metals (group 14-17) whereas basic oxides are formed by the metals of group 1 and group 2 elements. As the atoms get larger, the ionisation energy decreases and the elements also become more basic. BeO is an amphoteric oxide, MgO is weakly basic while BaO is highly basic oxide.
While assigning R, S configuration, the correct order of priority of groups attached to chiral carbon atom is
CONH2 > COCH3 > CH2OH > CHO
CONH2 > COCH3 > CHO > CH2OH
COCH3 > CH2OH > CHO > CH2OH
CHO > CH2OH > COCH3 > CONH2
