They are usually dull and brittle, form crystals and are insoluble (apart from potassium, sodium, lithium and ammonium oxides).
Metal oxides are largely basic.
Non-metal oxides are acidic.
Aluminium and Zinc oxides are amphoteric (can act as a base or and acid by being able to both donate and accept protons.)

Is the oxide in gold that is formed an acid or a base?
The oxide formed in gold is neither an acid nor a base. Gold oxide (Au2O3) is considered to be amphoteric, which means it can exhibit characteristics of both an acid and a base depending on the reaction it undergoes. It can react with both acids and bases to form different compounds.
