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 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-
Is MgO an acidic oxide?
No. Like the other oxides of alkaline earth metals, it is basic. MgO + H2O --> Mg(OH)2
What are acidic oxides?
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.
Are all oxides acidic?
No. A number of metal oxides are basic.
Are metals oxides acidic?
No, metal oxides are basic in nature.

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.
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.
Is carbon dioxide an acidic gas?
Yes it is. All the oxides of non-metals are acidic and oxides of metals are basic
Is MgO an acidic or basic anhydride?
Basic. Remember metal oxides of which magnesium oxide is one, are basic 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.
Difference between acidic oxide and basic oxide?
Acidic oxides generate H3O+ ions when mixed with water, while Basic oxides produce OH- ions.
Is metal oxide is a base?
Yes, certain metal oxides, mostly from the middle groups of the transition metals are acidic. Chromium and rhenium, for example, both form oxides which are acidic in water.
What is the nature of oxides of s-block elements acidic or basic or amphoteric or neutral?
acidic because when alkali oxides are reacted with water they give a acid
Will na2o react with water to form a acidic solution?
No, it will form a basic solution of Sodium Hydroxide as per the following equation. Na2O + H2O ---> 2NaOH As the solution will have OH- ions so it will be basic. Na2O is a basic oxide and basic oxide dissolve in water to form bases( here NaOH). Acidic oxides dissolves in water to form acids. Alkali metal(group 1 of periodic table) oxides are always basic oxides, but all metal oxides may not be basic( some transition metal oxides are acidic).
