Is lithium a base?
NO!!! Ity is a Group(I) elemental metal. However , its oxide lithium oxide (Li2O) is a base .
Does gold react with oxygen is the oxide that is formed an acid or a base?
Gold does not react directly with oxygen, however if you succeed in getting gold oxide indirectly, it decomposes at 205C. The oxide is neither acid nor base however gold ions are acidic (like protons are acidic)
Is calcium oxide acid or alkali?
Metal oxides are bases.So calcium oxide is also a base or alkali.
What means that it can act as an acid or base?
These are called amphoteric. They can react and neutralise both acids and alkalis. Such examples include aluminum oxide, zinc oxide and beryllium oxide.
Is Cs2O an acid or base?
It is an oxide of alkali metal Cesium, so it is basic in nature,.
If metal rusts is it the same metal?
The rust is an oxide of the base metal.
Do metal react with base?
no
What react with acids to give a salt and water?
Base forming(metal) oxide eg. CaO, CuO, K2O
Is lithium a base?
NO!!! Ity is a Group(I) elemental metal. However , its oxide lithium oxide (Li2O) is a base .
If Zirconium Reacts with oxygen is the oxide that is formed an acid or base?
Its a metal oxide so it'll be a base. Acids are mainly made with a non-metal oxide, though some metal (amphoteric) oxidesare also (mainly weak) acid forming oxides
Does gold react with oxygen is the oxide that is formed an acid or a base?
Gold does not react directly with oxygen, however if you succeed in getting gold oxide indirectly, it decomposes at 205C. The oxide is neither acid nor base however gold ions are acidic (like protons are acidic)
Does a base react with metals?
Generally not, but it depends on the specific base and metal.
What happens when a metallic oxide dissolves in water?
metallic oxide react with water to form its hydroxides. all these metal oxide are basic in nature due to more electropositive nature of metal atom. EX. M2O + H2O --> 2MaOH The alkali metal oxides M2O (M = Li, Na, K, Rb) Na2O + H2O --> 2NaOH sodium oxide dissolve in water afford sodium hydroxide
Is calcium oxide acid or alkali?
Metal oxides are bases.So calcium oxide is also a base or alkali.
What is the reaction of metallic oxide with water?
Reaction of a metal oxide with water produces a metal hydroxide, which is a strong base
What happens when iron react with base?
It doesn't react because it's a bases which doesn't react with metal
What means that it can act as an acid or base?
These are called amphoteric. They can react and neutralise both acids and alkalis. Such examples include aluminum oxide, zinc oxide and beryllium oxide.
