Describe the nature of metal oxide. what is the action of water on these oxides?
Answers
ANSWERS:
Metal oxides are crystalline solids that contain a metal cation and an oxygen anion. they typically react with water to form a bases or with acid to form salts. MO+H²O-M(OH)²(where M=group 2 metal) thus,these compounds are often called basic oxides

◆ᴀɴsᴡᴇʀ :-
oxide is a chemical compound that contains at least one oxygen atom and one other element in its chemical formula. metallic oxide are basic in nature while non metallic oxides are acidic in nature
Ionic metal oxides react with water to give hydroxides (compounds containing the OH− ion) and resultant basic solutions, whereas most nonmetal oxides react with water to form acids and resultant acidic solutions (see the tablel
