Is barium oxide covalent?
no it is ionic, because barium is a metal and oxygen (the "oxide") is a nonmetal. Covalent bonds are between nonmetals and nonmetals.
Is calcium oxide an ionic compound?
No, Calcium acetate is not a molecular compound since it's formed by a combination of nonmetals (C, H, and O) and metal (Ca). Compounds consisting of nonmetals and metals are ionic, metal and metal are metallic compounds, nonmetal and nonmetal is molecular.
Why is gold found as gold metal but aluminium is found as aluminium oxide?
Gold is a very unreactive element, so it occurs as gold metal in nature. However, aluminum is more reactive, and so it occurs in aluminum ore (aluminum oxide) in nature, not as aluminum metal.
What happens when a non-metal joins with another non-metal?
Nonmetals bonding with other nonmetals most often result in covalent bonds.
Is copper oxide a metal oxide?
Yes.

What is the nature of metal-oxide?
A metallic oxide is basic in nature.
Is mgo a metal?
No. MgO is magnesium oxide. It is a compound. Compounds cannot be considered as metals or nonmetals.
Is calcium oxide an ionic compound?
No, Calcium acetate is not a molecular compound since it's formed by a combination of nonmetals (C, H, and O) and metal (Ca). Compounds consisting of nonmetals and metals are ionic, metal and metal are metallic compounds, nonmetal and nonmetal is molecular.
What is nature of non metal oxide?
It is electronegetive in nature and so it can be called acidic.
Is CaO a metal oxide or non metal oxide?
Calcium is a metal, therefore this is a metal oxide.
If calcium reacts with oxygen is the oxide formed an acid or base?
Calcium oxide is definitely a base forming oxide, only nonmetals can have acidic oxides, though some other metal (amphoteric) oxides are also (mainly weak) acid forming oxides.
Is cobalt oxide a metal or nonmetal?
CO is a compound made up of two nonmetals. Not to be confused with Co, which is a metal.
Is CaO a metal or nonmetal?
Neither, calcium oxide is a compound, an oxide of calcium. Compounds cannot be classified as metals, nonmetals, or metalloids, as these are only properties of elements.You could consider it analogous to rust, but calcium's rust, instead of iron's rust.
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
What will combining a non-metal oxide with water form?
All nonmetals form covalent oxides with oxygen, which react with water to form acids or with bases to form salts.
Why is gold found as gold metal but aluminium is found as aluminium oxide?
Gold is a very unreactive element, so it occurs as gold metal in nature. However, aluminum is more reactive, and so it occurs in aluminum ore (aluminum oxide) in nature, not as aluminum metal.
