Acidic oxides are oxygen-containing compounds that dissolve in water to form acidic solutions. A typical example is sulfur trioxide, which dissolves to form sulfuric acid.

Which oxides are acidic and which oxides are basic?
Sodium oxide, magnesium oxide, and copper oxide are basic oxides, while carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and silicon dioxide are acidic oxides.
Classification of oxides?
Oxides are classified into 3 types: > Basic oxide > Acidic oxide > Amphoteric oxide (both Basic and Acidic)
Is chlorine oxide basic or acidic?
Yes, both sulfur oxides are acidic: with water they give sulfurous (weak -) and sulfuric (strong -) acids
What are refractory oxides?
they are oxides that retains their physical strength at very high temperatures. this makes them suitable to be used as materials for things like crucibles and furnace linings. They can be subdivided into acidic, alkaline or neutral refractory oxides. an example is SiO2.
What is an acidic Oxide and Basic Oxide?
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-
Are all oxides acidic?
No. A number of metal oxides are basic.
Are metals oxides acidic?
No, metal oxides are basic in nature.
Which oxides are acidic and which oxides are basic?
Sodium oxide, magnesium oxide, and copper oxide are basic oxides, while carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and silicon dioxide are acidic oxides.
Is carbon dioxide an acidic gas?
Yes it is. All the oxides of non-metals are acidic and oxides of metals are basic
What type of oxides are formed when metals combine with oxygen?
acidic oxides
Is sulfur dioxide gas basic or acidic in nature?
sulphur dioxide is an acidic gas. Remember;- Groups 1 & 2 oxides are basic. None metal oxides are acidic.
What is another name for non-metallic oxides?
They are also known as acidic oxides since they form acidic solutions in water.
Classification of oxides?
Oxides are classified into 3 types: > Basic oxide > Acidic oxide > Amphoteric oxide (both Basic and Acidic)
What type of oxides are formed when non metals combine with oxygen?
acidic oxides
Why metallic oxides are basic and non metallic oxides are acidic?
Metallic oxides are basic because they dissociate to form the hydroxyl ions while the non-metallic oxides are acidic because they dissociate to form hydrogen ions.
Are non metal oxides acids or bases?
Metallic oxides are basic because they dissociate to form the hydroxyl ions while the non-metallic oxides are acidic because they dissociate to form hydrogen ions.
Is an oxide a base?
It depends, many metal oxides are basic while most nonmetal oxides are acidic. Some oxides are also amphoteric, possessing both acidic and basic properties.
