Metallic oxides are basic in nature, because when metallic oxide dissolves in water it forms corresponding base, which turns red litmus to blue.Those metallic oxide which dissolve in water are known as alkali, while those which do not dissolve in water are known as base

Is BeO basic?
YES!!!! BeO ) Beryllium Oxide) is an oxide of a metal. Metal oxides are basic.
How many properties do metals have?
strong malleable ductile sonorous react with oxygen to form basic oxides high melting and boiling points good conductors of heat good conductors of electricity high density solid at room temperature (exception mercury - liquid at room temperature) lustrous
What type of element reacts with acids to form hydrogen?
Metals react with acids to form H2. Metalloids also show this type of reactions.
Can you show me the periodic table?
By there properties: Metals, Non-Metals and Metalliods.
Why is hydrogen listed in column 1 even though it is not a metal?
Hydrogen is not exactly a metal, but has a bonding charge of +1, meaning that it will only bond with materials with negative values. Usually only metals have positive bonding properties, and non-metals the negative.See:Is_hydrogen_a_metal_nonmetal_or_metalloidFor further details.

Which non-metals show only one oxidation number when they form compounds?
oxygen and fluorine
What type of oxides are formed when metals react with oxygen?
Metal oxides are chemical compounds containing a metal and oxygen; the are generally solids.They are formed by reaction with oxygen from the air.Oxides of more electropositive elements tend to be basic. They are called basic anhydrides; adding water, they may form basic hydroxides. For example, sodium oxide is basic; when hydrated, it forms sodium hydroxide.Oxides of more electronegative elements tend to be acidic. They are called acid anhydrides; adding water, they form oxoacids. For example, dichlorine heptoxide is acid; perchloric acid is a more hydrated form.Some oxides can act as both acid and base at different times. They are amphoteric. An example is aluminium oxide. Some oxides do not show behavior as either acid or base.The oxides of the chemical elements in their highest oxidation state are predictable and the chemical formula can be derived from the number of valence electrons for that element. Even the chemical formula of O4, tetraoxygen, is predictable as a group 16 element. One exception is copper for which the highest oxidation state oxide is copper(II) oxide and not copper(I) oxide. Another exception is fluorine that does not exist as expected as F2O7 but as OF2.[1] Since F is more electronegative than O, OF2 does not represent an oxide of fluorine, but instead represents a fluoride of oxygen. Phosphorus pentoxide, the third exception is not properly represented by the chemical formula P2O5 but by P4O10.

Metals react with acids to form H2. Metalloids also show this type of reactions.
Are alkali metals electro-positive?
Yes they are!even though they are very soft, reactive and not as widely used as much as transition metals eg. in construction they still have other metallic properties, such as metallic bonding.Yes all alkali metals are metals.

What is the difference between metals and metalloids?
Metals are the pure substances by and show only characteristic properties of metals while a metalloid is an element which show some properties of metals and some properties of non metals as Aluminium, Zinc and Tin.
What is the empirical formula for mercury oxide . Please show work.... Thank you?
Mercury oxides are: HgO and Hg2O.
What types of elements show malleability and ductility?
metals
Is kendra's show uncensored?
Kendra's show is censored as it is on the E! network which is on basic cable. It may be possible to purchase an uncensored version in the future if it is released on DVD or to the public in some other form.
Which are the metals which show and do not show photoelectric effect?
All metals will emit a photoelectric effect. However, alkali metals do so in the visible light spectrum, while other metals do so in near-ultraviolet light.The alkali metals are: Lithium (Li), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Rubidium (Rb), Caesium (Cs), and Francium (Fr).
