The oxides are formed when a metal or non metal reacts with acid
Metal are electropositive in nature, they form oxides which are basic in nature
Non metal being electro negative forms oxide s which are acidic on nature
There is another case , oxides of some elements are both acidic and basic in nature and these oxides are called Amphoteric Oxides. Ex - oxides of Al
