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.
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.
What are metal oxides with examples?
Metal oxides are oxides of metal. They are ionic in nature and form basic oxides. Eg: Na2O, MgO,etc
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
What term can be used to describe non-metal oxides?
Acids

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
Which type of oxide is formed when metals combine with oxygen?
Metal oxides form alkalis when they dissolve in water. Non-metal oxides for acids. For example: carbon dioxide + water --> carbonic acid magnesium oxide + water --> magnesium hydroxide
Is metal oxide is a base?
Yes, certain metal oxides, mostly from the middle groups of the transition metals are acidic. Chromium and rhenium, for example, both form oxides which are acidic in water.
Are metal's oxides gases or bases?
Metal oxides are typically basic.
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.
