Classification of oxides?

Oxides can be classified into acidic, basic, amphoteric, or neutral based on their chemical reactivity with water. Acidic oxides react with water to form acids, basic oxides react to form bases, amphoteric oxides can act as both acids and bases, while neutral oxides do not react with water to form either acids or bases.


Is water a acid or basics?

Usually water is considered neither acidic nor basic. It is neutral. But technically it is an amphoteric substance, meaning it has both acidic and basic properties.


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


What is the difference between amphoteric and neutral compounds?

Amphoteric compounds can act as either an acid or a base depending on the reaction conditions, while neutral compounds do not exhibit acidic or basic properties. Amphoteric compounds can donate or accept protons in a reaction, resulting in different behaviors, whereas neutral compounds do not participate in proton transfer reactions.


Is pure water a acidic alkaline or neutral?

Pure water is not neutral it is amphoteric which means with bases(alkaline) it acts as acidic and with acids it acts as basic(alkaline)

Is tin acidic or basic?

Tin is not acidic or basic in its pure form. It is considered amphoteric, meaning it can exhibit both acidic and basic characteristics depending on the reaction it is involved in.


Is P4O10 acidic basic or amphoteric?

P4O10 is an acidic compound because it reacts with water to form phosphoric acid (H3PO4).


Are all oxides acidic?

No, not all oxides are acidic. Oxides can be classified as acidic, basic, or amphoteric depending on their chemical properties. Acidic oxides react with water to form an acidic solution, basic oxides react with water to form a basic solution, and amphoteric oxides can act as either an acid or a base depending on the conditions.


What is the word meaning 'has both basic and acidic qualities'?

AMPHOTERIC. Various salt of Aluminium exhibit this characteristic. When placed in an acidic environment it will behave as a base. Conversely when placed in an elkaline environment it will behave as an acid.
