Why metallic oxides are basic and non metallic oxides are acidic?

Metallic oxides are basic because they dissociate to form the hydroxyl ions while the non-metallic oxides are acidic because they dissociate to form hydrogen ions.


Is dissolving glucose in water endothermic reaction?

No, because it's not a reaction. Dissolving is a physical, not a chemical, process. Some things dissociate as a result of being dissolved, and this dissociation can be treated as a chemical reaction, but glucose is not one of them. It is slightly endothermic, though, if that's the part you were really interested in.
