Yes, certain metal oxides, mostly from the middle groups of the transition metals are acidic. Chromium and rhenium, for example, both form oxides which are acidic in water.

What happen when base react with non metal oxide-?
The Metal hydroxides are strong base, therefore metal hydroxide decomposes on heating to form metal oxide and water.
Is lithium a base?
NO!!! Ity is a Group(I) elemental metal. However , its oxide lithium oxide (Li2O) is a base .
Is calcium oxide acid or alkali?
Metal oxides are bases.So calcium oxide is also a base or alkali.
Is Cs2O an acid or base?
It is an oxide of alkali metal Cesium, so it is basic in nature,.
Is copper oxide a alkali?
Copper oxide is not an alkaline but it is a base
What happen when base react with non metal oxide-?
The Metal hydroxides are strong base, therefore metal hydroxide decomposes on heating to form metal oxide and water.
If metal rusts is it the same metal?
The rust is an oxide of the base metal.
Is lithium a base?
NO!!! Ity is a Group(I) elemental metal. However , its oxide lithium oxide (Li2O) is a base .
If Zirconium Reacts with oxygen is the oxide that is formed an acid or base?
Its a metal oxide so it'll be a base. Acids are mainly made with a non-metal oxide, though some metal (amphoteric) oxidesare also (mainly weak) acid forming oxides
Is calcium oxide acid or alkali?
Metal oxides are bases.So calcium oxide is also a base or alkali.
What is the reaction of metallic oxide with water?
Reaction of a metal oxide with water produces a metal hydroxide, which is a strong base
Is MnO2 an acid or a base or salt?
It is a simple metal oxide, which can make it a salt.
Is CaO a metal oxide or non metal oxide?
Calcium is a metal, therefore this is a metal oxide.
Is Cs2O an acid or base?
It is an oxide of alkali metal Cesium, so it is basic in nature,.
Is copper oxide a alkali?
Copper oxide is not an alkaline but it is a base
Is Sodium Hydroxide Basic?
The easiest way of remembering whether something is a base is by remembering: "A base is a metal oxide, metal hydroxide, or ammonia." Sodium Hydroxide comes under the metal hydroxide category, so yes, it is a base.
Is phosphoros a metal oxide or a non metal oxide?
Phosphorus is not an oxide. It is an element. It is a nonmetal.
