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.

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-

The basicity of slag refers to the ratio of basic oxides (such as CaO, MgO) to acidic oxides (such as SiO2, Al2O3) in the slag composition. A higher basicity indicates a higher content of basic oxides relative to acidic oxides, which can affect the slag's viscosity, melting temperature, and ability to absorb impurities during metal refining processes.
