The classification of oxides is related to their metallic and non-metallic character based on the type of elements they are composed of. Metallic oxides are formed by the combination of a metal with oxygen and are generally basic in nature. Non-metallic oxides, on the other hand, are formed by the combination of a non-metal with oxygen and are generally acidic or neutral. This classification is determined by the ionic or covalent nature of the bonding in the oxide compound.
