Why are CuO and Fe2O3 soluble in water?

CuO and Fe2O3 are not soluble in water because they are both metal oxides with ionic bonds, which are generally insoluble in water. The high electronegativity of oxygen attracts the metal cations strongly, making it difficult for them to dissociate and form ions in water.
