Question

differentiate netween an acidic oxide and basic oxide​

Answer 1

Answer:

Basic oxides are always oxides of metals. They combine with water to form metal hydroxides which are usually called bases. Na2O, MgO, CaO, FeO and CuO are examples of basic oxides.

Acidic oxides are mostly oxides of non-metals, and they dissolve in water to form acids. Thus, CO2 dissolves in water to give carbonic acid, and NO2 gives a mixture of nitrous and nitric acids. But some metals also form acidic oxides in higher oxidation states. For example, chomium(VI) oxide (CrO3) and manganese(VII) oxide (Mn2O7) are the anhydrides of chromic acid and permanganic acid respectively.

Metalloids like arsenic and antimony also form acidic oxides in higher oxidation states (As2O5, Sb2O5).

Acidic oxides are covalent compounds whereas basic oxides are ionic compounds.

Acidic oxides react with bases forming salts and water. Similarly, basic oxides readily react with and dissolves in acids forming salts and water.
