What else can I help you with?
What are chemical salts Are carbonates oxides and hydrogencarbonates also salts?
- carbonates are salts.- oxides are...oxides not salts- hydrogencarbonates are salts
Why are metal oxides not categorized as salts?
Salts are not only compounds of oxygen.
What do metal oxides form?
Metal Salts + water
Which oxides react with both acids and alkali to give salt and water only?
Amphoteric Oxides. Eg = oxides of Zinc, Aluminum, Lead, etc.
How do you get rock salt out of your drain?
Using hotwater; but the drain may contain also other salts and oxides.
What are the characteristics of oxide?
They are usually dull and brittle, form crystals and are insoluble (apart from potassium, sodium, lithium and ammonium oxides). Metal oxides are largely basic. Non-metal oxides are acidic. Aluminium and Zinc oxides are amphoteric (can act as a base or and acid by being able to both donate and accept protons.)
The name for most ionic compounds other than oxides?
A "salt" is another name for ionic compounds
Why are aluminium and zinc oxides called amphoteric oxides?
These oxides are called amphoteric because they can dissolve in acidic solutions to form metal cations in the solutions but can also dissolve in strongly alkaline aqueous solution to form oxyanions of the metals: aluminate or zincate.
What chemistry is Organic chemistry?
The chemistry of complex carbon compounds (other than simple salts such as carbonates, oxides, and carbides).
Who reacts with metal bases or acids?
Metal oxides are basic in nature and react with acids to form salts and water. Non-metal oxides are acidic in nature and react with bases to form salts and water. Metals generally react with acids to form salts and hydrogen gas.
What kind of compounds will water not dissolve?
Many oxides, many metallic salts, many metals, many organic compounds, etc.
What do you understand by basic oxides?
Basic oxides are compounds that contain oxygen and a metal. They react with acids to form salts and water, demonstrating basic properties due to their ability to accept protons. Common basic oxides include metal oxides like sodium oxide (Na2O) and calcium oxide (CaO).
