acidic oxides
Metal oxides
Most of the non-metals combine with oxygen to form acidic oxides.
Alkali earth metals react with oxygen to form basic oxides.
oxides or hydroxides
Nearly all metals will form ionic compounds with oxygen, or 'oxides', as they are called.

Metal oxides
Most of the non-metals combine with oxygen to form acidic oxides.
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
Oxides are substances formed by the reaction of oxygen with metals or non-metals.eg. iron oxide(Fe2O3), zinc oxide(ZnO), sulfur dioxide (SO2 )etc.
they form mainly oxides
Metals and oxygen.
There are nothing uncombined. They are forming compounds inn nature.
Alkali earth metals react with oxygen to form basic oxides.
Alkali metals oxides are the result of these reactions.
Due to their very high reactivity with oxygen and also water, they combine to form oxides, hydroxides and from there to carbonates and others.
