How can the classification of oxides be related to their metallic and non-metallic character?

Non-metallic oxides are acidic (Except hydrogen, oxygen, helium, neon, argon) whereas metallic oxides are generally amphoteric or alkali (Except chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, niobium, tantalum, technetium, rhenium, ruthenium, osmium, bismuth)

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.

How are the areas of study-evolution and classification-interlinked?
Evolutionary relationships are traced in the classification of organisms. For classification of organisms, we look for similarities among organisms which allows us to group them. The more characteristics two species will have in common, the more closely they are related. It indicates that more closely two species are related, the more recently they would have had a common ancestor. Thus, classification of species is in fact a reflection of their evolutionary relationship.
What do scientists mean when they say that species is the only natural rank in classification?
They mean that species are a fundamental category of taxonomic classification, ranking below a genus or subgenus and consisting of related organisms capable of interbreeding.
