An acidic oxide is an oxide which when combined with water gives off an acid. A basic oxide is an oxide which when combined with water gives off a base. When a substance reacts chemically, both as a base or acid it termed as an amphoteric solution.

Basic oxides are oxides that show basic properties in opposition to acidic oxides and that either react with water to form a base; or react with an acid to form a salt and water which are called neutralization reactions.
