Abstract

We study the problem when a ring which is an extension of a commutative idempotent ring by a commutative idempotent ring is commutative. In particular, we answer Sands' question showing that the class of commutative idempotent rings whose every homomorphic image has zero annihilator is a maximal but not the largest radical class consisting of commutative idempotent rings.
