Group 18 elements are noble gases. He and neon are completely inert. Reactive compounds have been made for the heavier ones. Xenon has some well documented oxides such as XeO3 , XeO4 . Xenon fluorides and oxyfluorides are also known. The Xenon oxides react in alkaline medium with base like NaOH to produce Xenate ions such as Na+[HXeO4]- . XeO4 reacts with water to form perxenic acid. This shows that they are Acidic in nature.
Less isknown about krypton oxides and very little about Radon.

Oxides that are both acids and bases?
Such oxides are known as the amphoteric oxide they include oxides of semi metals, Al2O3, ZnO etc.
Why are aluminium and zinc oxides called amphoteric oxides?
These oxides are called amphoteric because they can dissolve in acidic solutions to form metal cations in the solutions but can also dissolve in strongly alkaline aqueous solution to form oxyanions of the metals: aluminate or zincate.
What are amphoteric metals?
Amphoteric is a chemical entity (ion or molecule) which can react as an acid but also as a base. Compounds of beryllium, tin, aluminium, lead, zinc have amphoteric hydroxides and oxides.
What are the amphoteric oxides of mgo and zno?
ZnO is amphoteric- i.e. it dissolves in acids and bases. Magneisum isn't! Manganese dioxide is MnO2 disolves in potassium hydroxide. Is that what you mean?
Why metal oxide are amphoteric in nature?
according to acid base definations base is such thing which accept proton easily.in metal oxides ,metal has ability to give proton and oxygen has ability to accept it.both are strong conjugat acid and base.so the metal oxides are amphoteric in nature.
Does sodium calcium are amphoteric oxides?
The oxides of sodium and calcium are not amphoteric: They are strongly basic. The most common amphoteric oxides are silica and alumina.
Are oxides of Group 18 basic?
Trick question. Group 18 are the noble gases and none of these forms oxides!
Is magnesium oxide amphoteric?
No, only aluminum oxide, lead oxide and zinc oxide are amphoteric oxides.

Which oxides react with both acids and alkali to give salt and water only?
Amphoteric Oxides. Eg = oxides of Zinc, Aluminum, Lead, etc.
Classification of oxides?
Oxides are classified into 3 types: > Basic oxide > Acidic oxide > Amphoteric oxide (both Basic and Acidic)
Is an oxide a base?
It depends, many metal oxides are basic while most nonmetal oxides are acidic. Some oxides are also amphoteric, possessing both acidic and basic properties.
What is the nature of oxides of s-block elements acidic or basic or amphoteric or neutral?
acidic because when alkali oxides are reacted with water they give a acid
What is an amophetric oxide?
The meaning of amphoteric is: a compound which can react with acids but also with bases.Some examples of amphoteric oxides: Al2O3, ZnO, SiO2, TiO2, ZrO2, PbO, etc.
