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.

Apart from dinitrogen monoxide, nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide, every non metallic oxides are acidic in nature.
No, aluminum oxide is not metallic. But aluminum is.
yes of course, non metallic compounds like sulpher oxide and carbon dioxide are covalently bonded together while metallic oxides like sodium oxide are bonded together through an ionic bond forming a crystal lattice.
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.
neutral
metal and metallic are the same thing arent they??
It is an acid forming (non metallic) oxide. P2O5 + 3 H2O => 2 H3PO4
This is a possible way to get an oxy-acid: CO2 + H2O --> H2CO3
This oxide may be CdO.
Neutral Oxides are non-metal oxides which do not react with acids or bases. All neutral oxides are monoxides (e.g. Carbon monoxide) Neutral Oxides are those oxides which on contact with water produce neither nor base. Their aqueous solution have no action on blue or red litmus .Examples are nitric oxide (NO) and nitrous oxide (N2O)
