basic
The oxide ion itself is basic, but oxides of various elements may be acidic, basic, or amphoteric.
Lime (CaO) is commonly used to treat acidic soils by neutralizing the acidity, raising the soil pH, and providing calcium for plant growth.
Acidic pellets have a lower pH and may contain acidic compounds like sulfuric acid, while basic pellets have a higher pH and may contain alkaline compounds like calcium carbonate. Acidic pellets are often used to lower soil pH, while basic pellets are used to raise soil pH.
Calcium (Ca) is the element with a basic oxide of the type MO, which is calcium oxide (CaO). This compound, also known as quicklime, is commonly used to neutralize acidic soils by increasing the soil's pH level.
Lye is a strong base, which means it is basic, not acidic.

basic or acidic
Acidic oxides form acids with water: eg SO2 + H2O --> H2SO3 Basic oxides form basic salts (alkaline) with water: eg. CaO + H2O --> Ca(OH)2 Amfotheric oxides have both acidic and base properties: eg. Aluminium oxide is an amphoteric oxide, which means that it displays both acidic (1) and base (2) properties: 1. Al2O3 + H2O --> 2 Al(OH)2- + 2 H+ 2. Al2O3 + H2O --> 2 Al3+ + 3 OH-
