How does the acid-base nature of the oxides in the period 3 change with the increasing atomic number?
basic metal oxides change to acidic non-metal oxides
How can the classification of oxides be related to their metallic and non-metallic character?
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.
What method is used to find out if a substance is metal or non-metal?
To find out whether a substance is a metal, its electrical conductivity, and the acid-base character of its oxides are researched.
Identify the metal which is non toxic in nature?
gold
What name is given to a non metal oxide which is soluble?
Water-soluble, nonmetallic oxides, can be attacked by alkalies and, in aqueous solution, they form acids; so they are called acidic oxides. Some examples include:Sulfuric, and other sulfurous acids, from oxides of sulfur,Nitric, and other nitrous acids, from oxides of Nitrogen,Phosphoric, and other phosphorous acids, from oxides of Phosphorous
How does the acid-base nature of the oxides in the period 3 change with the increasing atomic number?
basic metal oxides change to acidic non-metal oxides
Are non metal oxides acids or bases?
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.
An element x on burning in air forms an oxide which when dissolved in water turns blue litmus red idetify if x is metal or non - metal?
If it forms an oxide, that litmus red , then it is an acidic oxide. Acidic oxides are formed from NON-Metals.

Are non metals oxide or bases?
Most of the non-metallic oxides are acidic in nature as CO2, SO3 and P2O5 but some non-metallic oxides are neutral as oxides of nitrogen.
What term can be used to describe non-metal oxides?
Acids
Why are non metallic oxides acidic?
Apart from dinitrogen monoxide, nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide, every non metallic oxides are acidic in nature.
What does the nature of non metallic oxides?
Non-metallic oxides are acidic. Some are gases and readily dissolve in water. Others react with bases, such as silica, SiO2 and B2O3
Is it true that non metal oxides which react with water to form acids are called acidic oxides?
non metal oxides react with water to give oxyacid but also do undergo disproponation depending on the oxidation number ( oxidation number is increased and decreased, respectively) of the metal N2O5 + H2O → 2HNO3 3NO2 + H2O → 2HNO3 + NO
What is a soluble basic oxide?
metal oxides are known as basic oxides only non metalic base is ammonium hydroxide . group ii oxides are generally insoluble
What is the result when most nonmetallic oxides react with water?
Non metal oxides tend to react with water to form acidic solutions.
Which non-metal will ignite spontaneously if it is exposed to oxygen?
When a non metal reacts with oxygen it produces acidic or neutral oxides
