metallic oxides are that type of oxides which contain metallic metals and oxides and which are cations like lithium, potassium e.t.c.
Metallic oxides+ H2O - Base Non-metallic oxides+ H2O - Acid
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.
With some oxides metallic hydroxides are formed.
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.
Non-metallic oxides are acidic. Some are gases and readily dissolve in water. Others react with bases, such as silica, SiO2 and B2O3

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.
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.
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.
Apart from dinitrogen monoxide, nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide, every non metallic oxides are acidic in nature.
With some oxides metallic hydroxides are formed.
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.
Non-metallic oxides are acidic. Some are gases and readily dissolve in water. Others react with bases, such as silica, SiO2 and B2O3
Metallic oxides are metal and oxygen, bonded together. They are generally solids, and have higher densities. An example of a metallic oxides is sodium, Na.
An oxide as its name suggests is a chemical compound that consists of some atom bonded (either covalent or ionic) to one or more oxygen atoms. The two major oxides that exist are metallic oxides or non-metallic oxides.
They are also known as acidic oxides since they form acidic solutions in water.
Such oxides are Fe2O3 ,Cr2O3, Al2O3 e.t.c.
